As New/As New. 96pp, 94 color illustrations. Designed by Tom Adler. "On the heels of 2006's hugely popular "Surfing Photographs from the Seventies", T. Adler Books now releases the companion volume, "Surfing Photographs from the Eighties Taken by Jeff Divine". The 1980s were a tumultuous period in surf history, as the "everything's groovy" communalism of the previous decade was blown apart into splinter groups. Professionals, rebels, punks, and world travelers all banged the drum for their personal vision of surfing. The result was loud, vivid, and drenched in fluorescence and neon. Photographer Jeff Divine was on the case, documenting the changes from surfing's twin power poles: Southern California and the north shore of Oahu. Divine's access to these scenes, earned from fifteen years on the sand and in the water, infuse this volume with authenticity as an insider look into the period's most definitive moments". A brand new, pristine example of the 2011 first edition additionally BOLDLY INSCRIBED "FLURO / SURF / 80's Jeff Divine" in black marker across from the front colophon in the publisher's unprinted frosted plastic jacket. 1-935202-44-8 Inventory Number: 024710
