FS: Ansel Adams signed 1st edition

This is a discussion on FS: Ansel Adams signed 1st edition within the Market Square forums, part of the The Market Place category; I know this is a long shot, since most people don't have the cash to toss at a fancy book ...

FS: Ansel Adams signed 1st edition - 04-14-2011, 02:24 PM


I know this is a long shot, since most people don't have the cash to toss at a fancy book in this economy, but...

I am willing to let my Ansel Adams signed book go for the right price... $750

It is just like this one:

ANSEL ADAMS IMAGES 1923-1974 NY GRAPHIC SOCIETY SIGNED | eBay

or this one:

ANSEL ADAMS IMAGES 1923 - 1975 SIGNED 1ST EDITION 1974 | eBay

I can provide pictures of the book and the autograph upon request, or you can come see it in person. This is considered to be one of his best books and was published with great care in representing the images with great care and quality. And, or those of you who know the history of this book, my copy is a true signed 1st edition - not one of the 200 book club copies that had his signature. Contact me at janikphoto (at) yahoo.com if you are interested.

My plan was to hold onto it and give it to my oldest son one day... however, we are trying to get ready for a big move and it will bring in some cash to pay for moving boxes and movers. I love this book, but it hurt more selling my M1 Garand...

I must say to those that love photography, this is a must own, I got my copy when the book was released as a Christmas gift from my first wife. It is one of the best printed books ever released, Adams checked each page printed to make sure they matched his photograph.
My wife and I collect Adams prints and signed books, if I did not own it I would sell a camera to buy your copy.
I am sorry you must sale the book, but at the price you are asking it should sale.

I really wish I had the money right now. I am a huge Adams fan and would LOVE this book. If you still have it later I may be able to help.

I had someone email me about the book today, asking for some pics. I figured I'd share them here as well...
