Barrons, 1980. Foreword by Harrison E. Salisbury.  [79 striking black-and-white portraits, one to a page.] 1st edition, wraps, as issued. Very good with crimps along back edge of rear cover.  Farb took  these portraits in Novosibirsk, a Siberian city 3,000 kilometers east of Moscow. At that location, Farb had a studio at a large exhibition of American photography. Visitors could have a portrait made with Polaroid film, so that they could take home copy and Farb would keep the negative.  He took about 75 portraits per day, of which this book provides a selection.
