Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi (1990)

Limited Edition. Signed.

One of one hundred numbered copies signed by the photographer Birney Imes and Richard Ford who wrote the Introductory Essay.

The book is bound in black cloth and housed in a decorated slipcase (pictured). Fine.

In this spectacular album of full-color photographs Birney Imes reveals a previously unexplored domain: the black juke joints of the Mississippi Delta. Imes transforms this phenomenon of Delta cultural life into something rich and strange.
