Crisp, clean, seemingly unread art catalogue in pristine condition inside and out.

The catalog was produced to accompany an exhibit held at the Bruce Silverstein Gallery from January 16th to March 8, 2014. It measures 8"x10' and has all full page images in full color throughout.

Crisp, clean booklets -- five in all, each covering a different prehistoric culture of the southwest of the United States. They're beautifully designed both inside and out and manage to bring much information to the collective 75 pages which also contain handsome phoptographs and art. Booklets measure 9" square and have 15 pages each. The only defect is a small, light stain at the bottom edge of the pages of Hohokam which gets lighter and lighter. Overall a nice set. See photo of stain. View More...

Very handsome oversized book measuring 12-3/4" high and 13-1/2" across. Quality printing and very clean, but does shows a few faults.
