Love Hotels: The Hidden Fantasy Rooms of Japan

New York, Chronicle Books, 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Stated First Edition, First Printing exemplar, with "1" in number line present. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn but for a closed tear at spine bottom front, since glue-repaired neatly. Bound attractively in a square quarto format, glossy decorated boards, sharp and distinct lettering to spine. Seventy vibrant full color photographs by Misty Keasler, and with Introduction by Rod Slemmons and Natsuo Kirino. From the publisher's blurb, "Keasler presents a revealing document of sex and romance, public and private space in Japan. For all their vivid intensity, her images remain essentially reserved, the rooms devoid of people but rife with implication. Through Keasler's lens, the hotels' furnishings - which range from the kitschy and whimsical to the downright eerie - become emblematic not only of the personal predilections they are designed to accommodate, but of the cultural mores that led to their creation."Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
