Publishers’ black cloth with gilt titles to spine in unclipped pictorial dust-jacket. Board corners and head of spine slightly bumped with associated creasing otherwise a clean and bright copy. With the Author’s signature to white book plate to ffep (the flourishes to the signature extend to the endpaper itself, so Clarke handled the book whilst signing it and the plate is presumably only there because the endpapers and prelims are on black paper). Jacket a little creased. A Very Good copy in like jacket. Clarke’s striking images tend towards eroticism, fetishism and fantasy, with motorcycle and car imagery, nudity and fashion. Taken from the photographer’s best work of the previous six years. Heavyweight so a contribution towards increased postage costs may be requested for overseas delivery. £325.00
