"This volume began as a retrospective collection of photographs on the subject of animals. Along the way, musicians were invited to contribute, and two vinyl LP's, a CD, two pop-up cards, and a Menko Game were added, all printed in unbelievably deluxe black-and-white on lush papers and boards. Exquisitely printed, ultra-collectible, cloth-bound boxed set with falcon endpapers glued into the box. The musical contributions are by David Grubbs, Dirty Three, DJ Olive, Jan Jelinek, Lau Nau, Matmos, Mount Eerie, Nico Muhly, Sanso-Xtro, and The Zoo Wheel, among others" (Publisher's blurb). The participation of Nico Muhly, one of the most brilliant, cutting-edge Classical composers of our time, is particularly noteworthy. An absolute "must-have" title for Daido Moriyama collectors. This title is a great Artist Book. This is one of few copies of the Limited Boxed Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: It is NOT remainder-marked, and it is offered at the publisher's original list price. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white plates. Five of Daido Moriyama's books were selected as among the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". The greatest Japanese photographer of our time. A fine collectible copy.
