The catalogue issued in conjunction with the 1995 exhibition of Dr. Edgerton's work and art.

Bedi and biographical essay by Douglas Collins, which includes Edgerton's work in Hollywood and his work for the government in World War II.

The dustjacket is translucent plastic bound into the spiral binding. Both book and jacket are "as new," clean, unmarked, and complete with CD and postcards. No tears, chipping, creasing or bumping.
