Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Philip Stanton, Eric Dinyer, Kevin McCloskey, Gil Ashby, Julie Lieberman, Jeff Smith, Patrick Pigott, Howard Coale, Beth Bartholomew, John Ruggeri, Mickey Paraskevas, and Janelle Cromwell (illustratore). 1st Edition. I'm going to call this a first edition (NAP) because there are no additional printings and because, once listed, this will be the Only copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. I couldn't find any references in any year to this publication when I googled The School of Visual Arts, so this may be really unique. There are 126 pages of very interesting black and white illustrations. A dozen or so of them have accompanying text. I googled the names of each of the artists and all of them went on to have careers as illustrators. They are: Philip Stanton, Eric Dinyer, Kevin McCloskey, Gil Ashby, Julie Lieberman, Jeff Smith, Patrick Pigott, Howard Coale, Beth Bartholomew, John Ruggeri, Mickey Paraskevas, and Janelle Cromwell. The 'Guest Art Director' is Robert Weaver. You can see his statement on the front cover. It says: 'To put illustrators to work doing the thing they do best-- showing us what the world looks like-- perhaps all that is necessary is to give them enough space to move around in. Instead of defining the page as a display wall, I suggest with this issue, that the pages of the magazine constitute a single, if discontinuous surface. The fixed point of view gives way to a temporal as well as spatial composition. Just as blue paint mimics sky, so, a succession of pages replicates the obliteration of the previous moment by the present one.' The book is in very good condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They have minimal wear and are very clean. The same can be said for the interior the book. There's a very light and small bottom corner crease on the first and last couple of pages. Much of anything. Other than that I'm not seeing any creasing. I don't see any soiling at all. The pages are very clean. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. That covers the condition.
