OWENS, Bill. Suburbia, San Francisco: Straight Arrow Books, 1973. Softcover, 10 x 10 inches, unpaginated, halftone illustrations. Second printing. The results of a personal project pursued by Owens, when he was working for a suburban newspaper in Northern California. The subjects (almost exclusively white) proudly pose with their houses, cars, TVs, and other domestic possessions. Owens smartly allowed them to make their own comments, such as the couple who are grilling in the book's first picture: "Sunday afternoon we get it together. I cook the steaks and my wife makes the salad" This is an amusing and haunting publication. Very good condition.
