Important publication, showcasing the first fifteen years of Alec Soth's career with more than 200 pictures from rarely seen series, from the black and white series Perfect Strangers to the latest body of work Broken Manual. Includes the 48-page artist book(let) The Loneliest Man in Missouri, "a photographic essay with short, diaristic texts capturing the banality and ennui of middle America's suburban fringes, with its corporate office parks, strip clubs, and chain restaurants." The book includes new critical essays, which offer context on the artist's working process, the photo-historical tradition behind his practice, and reflections on his latest series of works. The book shows some signs of wear, especially some stains on the back cover. Binding a bit loose, inside the book is clean.
