Uncommon Places — Stephen Shore, 1982, first edition with dust jacket

One of the most influential photobooks of the twentieth century, Uncommon Places marked a turning point for colour photography and for the visual language of American space. Published in 1982 by Aperture, this is the scarce first edition hardcover with the original unclipped dust jacket — the definitive form of a book that changed everything. Working with a large-format view camera, Stephen Shore photographed anonymous intersections, motel rooms, signage, and city edges across 1970s America.
