All American

New York: 2001. First Edition 1/4000. 4to. Linen Taped Stapled Wrappers . Photography Monograph As New. np (144pp), 98 illustrations in color and b&w. Designed by Dmitri Levas. A lavishly produced, self-published Bruce Weber limited edition! This contains photo essays by Weber on seven uniquely American subjects that have caught his eye; football player/coach Cyrus James Elsworth, photographer Pirkle Jones, Bruce’s Golden Retriever puppy “True Blue”, Arctic explorer Bradford Washburn, radical surfer Matt Archbold, a section of male figure drawings by artist Paul Stone, and Bruce’s Montana neighbor, John Holland. The images run the gamut from youth to chiseled maturity, and from figure studies to landscapes & portraits. As with all of Bruce Weber’s books, the quality of the design, paper and printing is impeccable. Not unlike the previous books, there will be only one printing, and this is destined to sell out quickly. Our copies are pristine in the original shrink wrap, at the publisher’s list price, for now.
