Martha Casanave photographs on the Monterey Peninsula, and this is her book — black-and-white portraits with no blurb, no jacket copy, nothing to tell you how to look. The back cover is simply another photograph: a woman in a striped dress in a panelled room, a framed picture, a vase of daisies. Scarce, and local in a way that matters here.
Wrappers clean but noticeably wavy, with a soft diagonal crease across the upper right of the front cover and light surface scratching.
