Mounted color photo (4-1/2" x 3-1/2") on front cover. Illustrated throughout with color Polaroid photos, pen sketches and hand-lettered comments & captions. Laid in at front is an autograph letter from Hollingsworth. A tongue-in-cheek review of the author's Hollywood acquaintances. Minor touch of soiling on front cover, otherwise a fine copy.

Contents: In his most recent body of work, Hollingsworth sends up his former home of Los Angeles, the vortex of American pop culture, playing the characters who populate and define it - personas ranging from the well-worn stereotypes to the forgotten and disenfranchised. Shot entirely on Polaroid film, the images have a mug-shot aesthetic, whereby each character seems to have been momentarily plucked from his immediate environment for scrutiny under the artist's no-holds-barred gaze. -- Publisher's description.
