As New/As New. 190pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "For more than three decades, his images brought the pages of SURFING Magazine to life. Now, they're available to you in one comprehensive volume. But "30 Years of Flame" is not just another thick, glossy coffee-table book with beautiful photos. It's the story of a man who single-handedly changed the face of surf imagery with a passionate, tireless pursuit of perfection. Larry "Flame" Moore, SURFING Magazine's photo editor and driving force since the early seventies added red-hot color to its watery world. And thanks to the insightful, well-researched storytelling of author Nick Carroll, we now get to read all about the man behind the photo credit. From his early days in the dark room to his world travels, "Flame" has never strayed from his mission: bringing the brightest, freshest form of stoke possible to the masses". This beautifully appointed, quickly sold out hardbound publication is one of the loveliest surfing photography books of the last decade, and a virtual who's who of the scene from the seventies to the present. A brand new, most handsome example still in the publisher's printed cardboard shipping carton, as issued. 0-9770730-0-9 Inventory Number: 022149
