Houghton Mifflin, 1960. Hardcover. 8vo. Second edition. 471 pp. preceded by 61 plates of black and white photographs by Walker Evans. Black cloth binding. Very good condition. Light wear to edges of boards. Very clean interior. No markings.

Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was a collaboration between Agee and Evans, the former contributing the text and the latter the now-infamous photographic series presented at the front of book. The first edition of this book, issued in 1941, was a dismal failure, however, selling less than a thousand copies.
