You are looking at a copy of the journal “Camera Obscura: A Journal of Feminism and Film Theory,” Volume 23, which was published in May, 1990, by the Johns Hopkins University Press. This particular issue is a 206 page collection entitled “Popular Culture and Reception Studies” with Special Issue Editor: Lynn Spigel. A great resource for the cinema studies fan, film historian or anyone interested in the modern culture

The book is used, but is in pretty good condition. The front cover has some creasing on it (but it is not torn). But there is no writing, no stains or soiling, no missing or torn pages, and a tight spine & clean cover. Top bidder should add $6.99 postage in Canada, or $12.99 postage to the United States. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking!
