A valuable English edition of Michio Hoshino's Alaska photo collection. Published by Chronicle Books, San Francisco. Features 160 pages of Michio Hoshino's photographs. While there is inevitable aging, there are no significant issues, and there are no markings, so there is no problem with reading. Includes a valuable preface by Lynn Schooler. *Before purchasing* The books for sale are all "used books," not new. Even if listed as "no noticeable scratches or stains" or "beautiful condition," as used books, unlike new books, there may be minor age-related soiling, stains, and yellowing, and the price reflects this. Also, the degree of soiling is subjective, so the understanding of the degree may vary from person to person. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to record and photograph all stains and blemishes, except for obvious ones. We do not sell books that are unreadable. If you desire a book with "absolutely no scratches or stains," please purchase a new book and refrain from purchasing this one.
