I believe the cover and back cover are also quite clean. Currently out of print. It's sold for 33,000 to 55,000 yen at used bookstores. Purchased at Tsutaya a few years ago. The inside pages are clean. The following is the description: A collection of works by Luigi Ghirri, who was also a pioneer in the world of color photography in Italy. The author continued to work on a grand project from the 1970s to the 1980s, creating freely, without setting any particular limits or an end. In the images that emerged, one can feel a sense of empathy for the everyday spaces of that era, which were being tossed about by change. During his short years as a photographer, he took an astonishing number of photographs, and in that respect, no one in Europe at the time could compare to Ghirri. The many documents he left behind would also have a very significant impact on the history of photography. This book, which contains a vast number of works, was compiled by the British curator James Lingwood and published in conjunction with a traveling exhibition held at three European museums from 2018 to 2019. The exhibition focused on Ghirri's works from the first 10 years of his career as a photographer, with the solo exhibition "Vera Fotografia" held in Parma in 1979 as a point of culmination, and the works were classified and displayed in 15 narrative sequences (※Note). This book covers all of them. He had a deep interest in depicting the world in the form of reproductions, icons, posters, models, and maps, and from there, he sought to create a new kind of geography. In compiling this book, the focus is on his production, which evokes a quiet emotion. In Italy at the time, which was wavering between the old and the new, experiencing the world through images was for the author a vast land that could never be fully explored. "A great adventure into the world of thought and vision, a magical tool that can miraculously coexist the things you realize as an adult and the world of fairy tales of childhood... an endless journey through the great and the trivial, the endless changes, and the realms of fantasy and emergence, and a place like a labyrinth that reflects like a mirror through many people and simulations." - Luigi Ghirri Quoted from the twelvebooks website
