Arroyo Grande, CA: Garland Publishing Company, 1965. First Edition. Oblong octavo (5 X11), 64 pp. A photographic artists' book published by nineteen year old Jeff Lovelace, with an introductory poem by John Matlack. (A trade edition in a different, less avant-garde format was published by Studio Press, Berkeley, in 1968; that edition, while uncommon in commerce, is easily located in OCLC, while the current offering is referenced only three times, and not in California.) 37 black and white images including the covers, photographed in and around Santa Maria, California, home of Vandenburg Air Force Base, and consisting of shots juxtaposing the base, the natural landscape, and the town, with Lovelace's prose interspersed. Very compelling production, perhaps just shy of brilliance and hindered by a youthful kitsch, but little-known and deserving of a place in the pantheon of sixties artists' books. A few light creases and general wear; very good in photo-illustrated wrappers.
