Accordion-folded, self-cover. Contains 10 B&W photographs of the Los Angeles County Courthouse. Rear cover lists each photograph's specific location in the building, e.g. "Alcove, east of south portico, looking north." No publisher name or location is listed, but Alvin Comiter was a professor at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, located in Halifax. The book shows the clear influence of conceptual art, of which NSCAD was an important hub during the 1960s and 1970s.
