Clean, with no defects, but shows light wear at edges of dust jacket. / Since the end of World War II, southern California's backyard pools - those blue-green oases in an otherwise often arid landscape - have symbolized any number of American ideals: optimism, wealth, consumerism, escape, physical beauty, and the triumph of man over nature.

Limited Edition of 500 TVC#012Botanica by Sander Meisner, is the latest offering from London-based publishers The Velvet Cell.
