Land of the FreeLand of the Free by Archibald MacLeish

Walker Evans: American PhotographsWalker Evans: American Photographs by Walker Evans
Buy used from: $592.92
***** An excellent reprint of Evans photos from 1938 though they are not all FSA images.
Home TownHome Town by Sherwood Anderson
Buy used from: $23.00
**** My original 1940 copy has 110 FSA photos combined with Anderson's powerful narrative. This reprint unfortunately prints the photos in a 133 screen rather than the 175 in the original, so all the blacks now look rather grey. There is a ten page intro by David Anderson in this edition.
Twelve Million Black Voices: A Folk History of the Negro in the U. S. (Classic Reprint Ser)Twelve Million Black Voices: A Folk History of the Negro in the U. S. (Classic Reprint Ser) by Richard Wright
Buy used from: $20.00
This reprint, after some slight changes to the start, follows the original page for page. The original had a slightly finer screen (150) but this reprint uses a 133 screen on whiter paper so there is hardly any loss of quality to these FSA photos.
