How to Use Your Candid Camera

New York: The Studio Publications, Inc.. Very Good in Very Good dj. [1936]. First Edition. Hardcover. [book bumping and moderately worn at both ends of spine and at lower corners, otherwise a good sound clean copy; the jacket is chipped at the top of the spine and vicinity, also at the top right corner of the front panel and the lower left corner of the rear panel, with minor additional paper loss at the base of the spine]. (B&W photographs) A short treatise on photography basics, followed by 56 examples, with technical specifications and exposure techniques for each. The author/photographer, under his birth name Levon West, was already an established artist (his first big break came when he published an etching of "The Spirit of St. Louis" upon Charles Lindbergh's arrival in Paris), and adopted this new name when he took up photography in the 1930s -- in part, it seems, not to devalue his prior "real" artistic work. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
