A Few Palm Trees
Before creating this book, Ruscha had considered making a book called Seventeen Hollywood Palm Trees, for which he mocked up several cover designs. The original project, which was never realised, evolved into A Few Palm Trees. According to the artist's introductory caption, the camera faced west on all photos.
