A first edition of Bertien van Manen's photographic history of the post Soviet states in the early 1990s. Publisher's glossy wraps, some light curling to the corners, bruising to the head and tail of the spine. A few scuffs and marks to the covers. Edges of the textblock are a little bruised and a touch sullied. Some loss to the gloss at the upper rear corner. Internally, firmly bound, with spine remaining uncracked. Leaves remaining bright and clean, with just the lightest handling marks from being flicked through. A remarkable photographic exploration of Eastern Europe following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
