"Every Building on the Sunset Strip" is Ed Ruscha's innovative 1966 photographic study that pictures sequentially each architectural facade on both the North and South sides of the fabled Sunset Strip from 8101 - the still extant Jaguar dealership - to 9156 - the late, great Schwab's Pharmacy. Pandora's Box lives! An internally bright, handsome example of the 1970 second printing (entry B4 in Siri Engberg's "Edward Ruscha: Editions 1959-1999", and whose 1966 edition is cited on pages 142-143 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume I", pages 198-199 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book", and pages 182-185 of "The Book of 101 Books") limited to five thousand unnumbered copies showing a tiny crimp at the base of the spine along with soiling and a soft crease along the spine of the external wrappers. There is some trivial soiling and minor chipping to the white paper covering along the top and bottom edges of the slipcase accompanied by short separating tears at the corners of the aperture. The silver mylar overlay of the slipcase is still glossy. It has been priced accordingly. Inventory Number: 025720
