Description: For years, Bill Owens' 1973 "Suburbia" was out of print and a much-sought-after cult classic. In 1999, it was re-issued in a revised hardbound edition containing a new essay by David Halberstam along with numerous vintage color images published here for the first time. This amazing sociological dissection of the Northern California suburban sprawl of the late sixties and early seventies is truly one of the great American photography books of the last quarter of the 20th Century. A most handsome example of the now unavailable expanded 1999 Fotofolio edition (whose 1973 predecessor is cited on page 24 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II", pages 296-297 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book", and pages 224-225 of "The Book of 101 Books")
