Fine./Fine.. np, profusely illustrated in b&w. Designed by Naomichi Kawahata. Text in English and Japanese. "Shinjuku" is perhaps Daido Moriyama's most impressive work in book form of the past decade. Graphic, dramatic, and beautifully printed in full-bleed velvety blacks throughout, this brick-like survey of Tokyo's notorious nightlife/shopping/skyscraper district is a classic. A most handsome example of the 2002 Getsuyosha - not Nazraeli Press - edition with the publisher's folded, photographically illustrated text broadside laid in showing a tiny nick to the dust jacket at the head of the spine. 4-901477-03-X Inventory Number: 025323
