Description: Condition Continued: The pages have one slight imperfection, just off their outer edges in the white margin there is a hint of toning, and just off of their middle edges there is also a very slight rippling or waviness of the paper, none of it reaching the print or photographs. Even though this is quite minor, and a little toning is quite common in glossy art books, I'm offering the book at a significant discount to the other signed copies for sale on the Internet.The dust jacket looks fantastic. It's perfectly clean. There are no tears. No creasing. Really no wear at all. The flaps are also in excellent condition. The jacket is not priced or clipped. I've had it in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book. I just removed the protective cover because I hadn't originally fitted it on as exactly as my standards demand. I'll fit it with a new protective cover after the photos are scanned. Wallach-Irons Publishing, New York. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written by Clifford A. Wallach and Michael Cornish. First Edition (NAP). Signed and inscribed by the author, Clifford Wallach, on the half-title page. Foreword by Richard Miller, former curator of the Abbey Aldridge Rockefeller Folk Art Center. 'Tramp Art: The Craft, the Technique & the Makers. Over 450 full-color photographs.'From the dust jacket front flap: Tramp Art begins to dispel the romantic myth that this craft was produced solely in anonymity. For the first time since the craft's recognition in 1959 by Frances Lichten, diligent research by Clifford Wollack, with the valuable assistance of others, has yielded a wealth of information. The techniques and materials are discussed in detail. Biographies of makers, both old and contemporary, from scattered localities have surfaced. Hobo wanderers, as well as milkmen, musicians and blacksmiths by trade, become proficient and inventive craftsman in their precious spare time. Over 450 full-color photographs with Value Index illustrate the breadth of the utilitarian through the whimsical, created from discarded cigar boxes and crate wood, securing Tramp Art's placement of significance among other folk art forms. This in-depth comprehensive study provides a valuable reference for collectors, dealers and others intrigued by this craft produced layer by layer, one notch at a time' ISBN: 0964171023
