California and the West by Edward Weston and Charis Wilson
Rare Tome · Sold

Pip
Edward Weston's photography with Charis Wilson's words, published by Aperture, kept its dust jacket and earned a Jacket Ward. A courier owl carried it west, or wherever readers live, in late October 2026. Pip likes to imagine it crossing a few state lines.
