Susan Meiselas. CARNIVAL STRIPPERS. Farrar, Straus, Giroux, NY 1976.
PHOTOGRAPHY.
Desirable photo book, quite common but seldom shows up as a first, jacketed hard back. Cover is silver. In the early 1970s Meiselas travelled with some small New England and Southern "Girl Shows", including the Club Flamingo, the Star and Garter. the Club 17. Pictures and text from 100+ hours of interviews. Not a salacious book, somewhat noir and triste, some photos are said to shock. A great photographer, she won the Robert Capa Gold Medal, the Leica medal for excellence, and The Photojournalist of the Year etc., Her book 'Nicaragua' is in Parr's definitive 'The Photobook'.
Current Selling Prices
$500-$800 / £300-£400 Want level 25-50 Highish
VALUE? Hardback copies in jackets up to $1000 but attainable at a lot less, one sea green hopeful wanting $750 for the paperback. Kind of book you might find in a slightly curled jacket at a flea market if you got there real early.
