About This Book

An accordion-fold presentation that opens to 27 feet. There are two strips of pictures for the right hand and left hand side of the street, at the top and bottom of the page. A drive down Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood California, with each building address and street intersection name identified. Just like the historical street view books, where you can imagine walking down the middle of the street and seeing the buildings to left and right of you.

![An example foldout][1]

> Ruscha mounted a motorized Nikon to the back of a pick-up truck and photographed every building he passed. The resulting book, with the pictures printed in order and labeled with their street numbers, achieved an effective non-judgemental and almost anthropological record of previously unexplored details and aspects of the urban experience. - [source][2]
