Bill Owens, Suburbia: New & Improved
Edited by Robert Harshorn Shimshak, with introduction by Daivd Halberstam

The New and Improved edition is a re-issue of the 1973 American classic, with several previously unpublished color images. In this ironic examination of Seventies America, Bill Owens sardonically surveys the "normal" world of fondue, culs-de-sacs, and subdivisions. The book stands as a testament to the optimism of the middle-class's migration to the American suburbs. Through insightful photographs and self-effacing interviews, Owens chronicles the hopes and sympathies of our neighbors and ourselves.
