Large paperback first edition [size of a coffee table book] in excellent shape.  Cover has some light wear.  Hint of tanning.  Awesome deranged photography.  NSFW.  *Features sexual content. 

Much of the best and most exciting contemporary photography is grotesque -- meaning odd, unnatural, fantastic, startling  or bizarre in content.  It is the work of photographers at the leading edge of a creative trend as revolutionary for photography as impressionism was for the art of painting.  Tis book is a first collection of their extraordinary and important pictures.
