Los Angeles: Edward Ruscha, [1970]. Second printing. 53-panel leporello, b&w photo-illustrated, in yapped white wraps; silver mylar-covered slipcase. Light toning and foxing to the creased spine; corners a trifle crimped. Slipcase with short splits at fore-edge crown; mylar detached at turn-ins but held in place by fold. Very good in like slipcase.
The fourth and most famous of Ruscha's sixteen self-published artist's books; though title-page dated 1966, this one of a reported 5,000 copies in the second printing of 1970, lacking the first edition's stub-like final panel, with which Ruscha was dissatisfied. Roth, 101, pp 182-185. Parr & Badger, v2, pp 142-143.
