SOTH, Alec. Sleeping by the Mississippi. Göttingen: Steidl, 2004. Oblong 4° (275 x 285mm). 47 colour photographs. Original printed cloth.
FIRST EDITION. A fine copy of the correct first issue, with the wall image printed on the front cover. One of the most impressive photobooks of recent years. Soth has remarked that he sees the photobook as 'the ultimate vehicle for showing my work because you can reproduce photos incredibly well in book form, and for me photography isn't about individual images but about the interplay among images -- and that's what you get in a book' (quoted in Minneapolis - St.Paul Star Tribune, 14 December 2007). The Photobook, vol. II, p.50.
