First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 76 pages. Collection of color photographs on subject. One of the most tenderly beautiful photography books on man's best friend. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Mark J. Asher: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial hard boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs, graphic and layout design, and text by Mark J. Asher. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Mark J. Asher's "Bark & Ride". Lovely photographs of dogs riding in cars, by now, a full-fledged genre. "If dogs could drive, where would they go and what would they do? Mark J. Asher sets out to answer these yet-unpondered canine queries with 'Bark and Ride'. With its full-color pictures, storytelling, and canine road signs, this collection of photographic creativity captures man's best friend in countless vehicles and comical situations. We find a magnificent mastiff atop a tractor, plowing the fields for buried treasures; a bloodhound in a police car, patrolling the streets for abandoned dogs; and a precocious poodle at the helm of a trolley car, taking his friends for a downtown shopping spree. The engine is roaring, the road is ready, and the dogs are rearing to Bark and Ride!" (Publisher's blurb). A gem. An absolute "must-have" title for dog lovers (that should be every human being) and Mark J. Asher collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Mark J. Asher. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 50 color plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0740757032.
