About This Item
London: Open Gate 1971, 1971. First edition. 8vo. 246x190mm. 96pp. Original black cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Illustrated dust jacket. The dustjacket has a small closed tear to the top edge of the lower cover and bottom edge of the front cover and some slight creasing to edges but overall is in very good condition particularly as it is rare to find this book in hardback with its dustjacket. "This collection of [McCullin's] best work is a statement of man's inhumanity to man - and is a more poignant and more powerful statement than could be made in a hundred books of words or a hundred films. The stark black and white of McCullin's pictures compel one's total attention and leave room for nothing but reality".

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
