"This volume compliments 'Gathered Leaves : The Photographs of Alec Soth', an exhibition which brings together four of the artist's signature works - 'Sleeping by the Mississippi' (2004), 'Niagara' (2006), 'Broken Manual' (2010), and the most recent, 'Songbook' (2015). It is a book which is also a box: a container for those four major works realised in diminutive form." -- enclosed sheet.
