FIRST EDITION IN THE RARE DUST-JACKET. 'Changing New York not only fulfils Abbott's criterion for the historical importance of the documentary mode, but also demonstrates its power as a medium of personal expression' (The Photobook). 101 Books, pp.100-1 ('A LANDMARK OF ARTFULLY ARTLESS DOCUMENTATION'); The Open Book, pp.130-1; The Photobook, vol. I, p.141 ('SPLENDID NEW VISION-STYLE COVER' -- apparently the only aspect of the book's design over which Abbott had some creative control).
