Social Documentaries Amid This Pist
Softcover | first edition | 242 pages
Published by Purple / Fiction Inc., 2003.
Social Documentaries Amid This Pist pulls together Mark Borthwick’s photographs and layouts made for Purple. This edition reproduces his loose sequencing, handwritten notes, photocopied pages and rough page compositions without smoothing anything out.
The 2003 Fiction Inc. version sits alongside the earlier 2002 Onestar Press edition but was produced for the Japanese market, with additional Purple context and minor variations in text. It remains one of the harder Borthwick titles to find and a key record of his early 2000s work with Purple.
Condition: fair (creasing and shelf wear overall).
