PATTERSON, Christian. Bottom of the Lake.

(Oakland, CA): TBW Books, 2013.  First edition.  Hardcover.  27.7cm by 23.3cm.  Unpaginated.  Issued as book No. 1 in the TBW Books Annual Series No. 4. Cool photobook combining Patterson’s photographs with fragments inspired by his hometown of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (“Bottom of the Lake”). The book uses imagery drawn from the town’s atmosphere — winter streets, interiors, signage, snow, found ephemera — to evoke a dark, intimate, and memory-laden portrait of Midwestern small-town life.  A very good plus copy in dust jacket.  Issued in a numbered edition of 1500 copies.
