2014. First Steidl edition. The true first edition was published by Twelvetrees Press in 1988. 
Hardcover with the dust jacket. Pristine condition.
Includes a personalized note to me. (I hope he won't see that I'm selling it ....)
Ken Schles documented our East Village neighborhood in New York City during the 1980s. Back when Koch was mayor and the apple was rotten to core - in other words, fabulous days! One reviewer notes "Schles captured its look and attitude in delirious and dark verité." 

Here's another quote "Long out of print, this missing link in the history of the photographic book is now once again made available. Using scans from the original negatives and Steidl’s five plate technique to bring out nuance and detail never seen before in print, this masterful edition transcends the original, bringing this underground cult classic into the 21st century for a new generation to discover."
 80 pages. Text in English.
