Description
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. [Groucho Marx] This small format gift book is an essential career-spanning retrospective that reveals Erwitt's unassuming wit, brilliant framing and deep humanity when dealing with our most precious of belonging - friends.
