Softcover. Signed, Limited Edition. Any defects are listed in the book descriptions.; This is a lot of three small artist's books: Nature Resource, Anthropocene, and Resource Extraction. Each is comprised, inside and out, of photographs related to deforestation and clear cutting in the Pacific Northwest. Most photos are richly-toned monochrome with a few satellite photos in color. All photos are by Tony Bellaver, Oakland, CA-based photographer and book artist. Two books have no stated publisher, but all three are likely published by Quite Contrary Press, operated by artist Mary V. Marsh, collaborator with Tony Bellaver in artist's books and other artistic projects. Book 1: Bellaver, Tony. Nature Resource. (Oakland, California), (Published by the artist), 2019. Numbered edition of 10. Artist's book of terrestrial and satellite images of the wreckage and waste of forest clear-cutting in Callam County, Washington. All terrestrial images shot with a Zenza Bronica medium format camera loaded with Kodak Tri-X monochrome film. Printed accordion-fold on 1 leaf of stiff, semi-gloss card stock, with 6 panels. The front panel has the title "Nature / Resource" die cut through the stiff paper in 1/2" high serif font. The 6 panels form a single, panoramic image of "slag" piles of root balls and waste on clear-cut ground. The rear panel of the book is signed and numbered "5" of 10 in silver ink. All photographic images are printed in archival pigment inks. The book's dimensions are 8 1/2" x 8 1/2". In the publisher's slipcase of thin cardstock printed in color satellite images of clear-cut area within a forest. In silver ink, the slipcase's rear tail edge is signed and inscribed "Nature Resource, 2019 Tony Bellaver 5/10 All images taken in Callam County, WA USA". Showing only the faintest wear, the slipcase suffers from being of a card stock far too thin to maintain the 'squareness' of its edges. The spine edge is creased, and the head edge is lifting a bit where it is glued. OCLC finds only 1 in an institution. No others are currently in the trade. The book is clean, sharp, and Fine condition with the slipcase being clean and conservatively Very Good. Book 2: Bellaver, Tony. Anthropocene. (Oakland, California), (Published by the artist), 2019.

The front panel is a monochrome image of a "slag" pile on clear-count ground. The inner 4 panels form a single, color, panoramic satellite image of clear-cut areas within a forest. The title Anthropocene is die cut in 1 1/8" high serif font through the stiff paper of the 4 panels, with one syllable per panel: "An" // "thro" // "po" // "cene".
