Description: A very good copy, signed by the photographer, 'The Last Days Of W' by renowned US Magnum photographer Alec Soth, purchased in 2008 by me. I've met Alec Soth a few times at talks and exhibitions and, along with a few other Soth publications, I asked him to sign this copy for me. This publication features photographs taken in North America which, according to Soth, “take a panoramic look at a country exhausted by its catastrophic leadership.” by focusing on what the photographer saw as the deeper social crises created by George Bush’s presidency. 'During these last days of the administration, what is the point of protest, satire or any other sort of rabble-rousing? In assembling this collection of pictures I’ve made over the last eight years, I’m not really trying to accomplish much at all. But as President Bush once said, 'One of the great things about books is, sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.'' - Alec Soth The newspaper front cover has yellowed slightly, due to the nature of newsprint - but otherwise is in excellent condition.
