The Americans shipping

It is similar in size to the first US edition by Grove Press: about 7" x 8".
Other printings, like the Aperture edition where larger.

Cheers,
Gary

well, it looks like the Americans go out first in France ... got my copy. Not the usual three months delay compared to the US ...

Well, it was printed in Germany.

By the way, did anyone else notice that the red paper 50th anniversary band left red staining on the first and last pages? It came off with an eraser but it means my book is imperfect right from the start. Ah well...

I had the same issue ... how can such a well-known publishing company do such a mistake

PhotoEye.com is probably a better place to get books like this, if you are concerned about problems like this. They take extra care about these things. A bit more expensive, but sometimes it's worth it.

I think the red band was added by the publishers (it was inside the shrink wrap that was on the book after all) so getting it from a different source wouldn't have made a difference.

Hi,

received my copy directly from the publisher house Steidl here in Germany. There was no red band around it. Wonder who might have added that.

The book is fabulous, however.
 
My book came in today from PhotoEye and it did have a red band but no discoloring of the book at all. If that happens I would call whomever you bought it from and ask for a replacement copy.

--I am amzed at how much the images almost look like they are printed on Fiber based paper. Wonderful reproductions!! And I like that some of the images are uncropped, unlike in the original book. Not that many were cropped in the orig version and the ones that were was only slight here and there.

Well shoot. Wish I had known about this site before. Oh well. Have had mine pre-ordered from Amazon (US) for a while now. Hmm... if it hasn't shipped yet, which it hasn't, wonder if I should cancel it and instead get it from photoeye.....

Photoeye is the best in my opinion. Never had a problem.
 
I just cancel my order from amazon.ca today and order it from amazon.com ! What a bad timing. Anyway, it is shipped today with street dream from W. Eugene Smith.
