House Hunting by Todd Hido Signed, First Edition of 2000 copies (2001)

  
Please consider checking back frequently as I'll be adding 20-30 additional titles each week. Todd Hido's large color photographs of suburbia are lonely, forlorn, mysterious. Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb.

Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air. As New with an Excellent dust jacket.

The dust jacket has extremely minor shelf wear in the form of a few very light marks on the front and back. Otherwise the book itself is in As New condition.

This copy is from the first edition (first printing), announced in 2000 and published in 2001, and it's signed by Todd Hido on the title page. I try to be very conservative when I describe my books, but please take the time to look over the photographs carefully. No one likes unpleasant surprises! Also, please know that I take the time to package each book with great care, using new, sturdy materials and double-boxing most books to minimize the possibility of damage during transit.
