A digitally remastered facsimile edition of Danny Lyon's seminal 1971 photobook, highly influential in the history of documentary photography. Heralded as a "masterpiece" by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger in 'The Photobook: A History Volume II'. Revolutionary in the 1970s, Lyon's record of life inside the Texas prison system was one of the first photobooks to include ephemera and has been out of print for over 40 years. A valuable collector's item, first edition hardbacks in good condition sell for over $1000, this edition has been updated with a new afterword by Danny Lyon. The growth of the prison population in the US - currently the largest in the world - and recent debate over the drugs used in carrying out the death penalty highlight the continued relevance of this book today.
Limited edition of 500 numbered copies. ; Woody's latest venture takes three forms--1.) a book with representations of each US state, visually constructed out of the letters in its name, 2.) a digital version of the book, and 3.) a text-to-speech realization of each state, read by a computerized voice, almost Pokemon-like.

Caption title. ; During my travels to cemeteries for several years I have photographed over five thousand last names on headstones that are parts of speech ... The inspiration to write my version of the Inferno occurred to me after I located the surnames Dante, Virgil and Styx. I had already found Beatrice, Heaven and Hell. What followed were months of reading translations and summaries and beginning to write my adaptation. Next the photographs were edited for clarity. In addition to being symbolic and sophisticated, Dante's journey down through the nine circles is graphic. I have tried to keep my version simple enough for the first time reader, while recounting his progress as accurately as my limited collection of words would allow--Colophon on envelope.
