Greenwood"; also seen with limitations of 150 numbered copies, 750 numbered copies, and 2500 numbered copies]. This prospectus, in addition to reproducing the Edward Weston photographs, prints information about the projected book, including format, statements by scholars who stress the need for such a book, a list of sponsors, etc. Despite the professional nature of the project, and this attractive prospectus, response must have been inadequate, as the book was never published.
OCLC lists fourteen worldwide holdings of this prospectus, with variant limitations: [Havard (Loeb Library), Princeton, Colorado (Boulder), California Historical Society, California State University (Fullerton), Getty, Loyola Merrymount, Monterey Public Library, Sacramento Public Library, San Jose State, Sierra Club, California (Berkeley), California (Santa Barbara) and UCLA].
