A near fine copy with crisp and fresh pages, and only light rubbing to the spine ends; in the original dust jacket with wear and a few tears to the spine ends, very light rubbing on the corners. Although this book predates his iconic films by at least two decades, Tulsa is quintessential Clark. Ever interested by teenage subcultures, Clark chose young amphetamine users in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma as his subject matter for this book Included are 50 black and white photographs that examine their daily lives. Like many of his other works, Clark presents a dynamic portrayal of troubled teens, juxtaposing their youthful innocence and dark lifestyles, reminding the reader that "Once the needle goes in it never comes out."
