Jose Parla Store, by O.H.W.O.W. on Dec 19, 2008 14:48:31 GMT 1, I called OHWOW and these are indeed first edition prints. They said they are almost out of the Cityscapes - it is such a classic. Jose is friends with the gallery owner (there is a pic of them together in the supertouch link). $50 for a signed Jose Parla book is impossible...

Just got my Cityscapes. FYI, these are SECOND edition NOT FIRST. Great book, but not the first edition.

Jose Parla Store, by O.H.W.O.W. on Dec 26, 2008 20:22:34 GMT 1, the copy i received was first edition. when i spoke to the gallery they told me they had limited supply, so i assume they had limited 1st editions left and once they burned through that inventory they started moving the 2nd editions...
it's the same, amazing book and it can't be found ANYWHERE else - I challenge someone to find Cityscapes anywhere else online. I know Jose is tight with the gallery and is placing these books with them.

I ordered one from them a few weeks back when Jose was still over there and it arrived last week nicely dedicated and signed by Jose ;D

Jose Parla Store, by Cocteau 101 on Dec 28, 2008 11:02:12 GMT 1, Is Cityscapes first edition a hardback or softback.
I got mine today and both are lovely books for the price, I'd been after Cityscapes for ages so am happy to get hold of it ist edition or not but would be curious as to any differences between the first and second editions.

Jose Parla Store, by mose on Dec 28, 2008 18:08:53 GMT 1, excuse myself if you think i'm stupid but what's the difference between a first edition & second edition book, cityscapes in particular?
Compared to the 1st edition, the 2nd edition
has glossy paper
Copyright page text is slightly different
Several pictures are much larger('Calle Luna' and 'Accidents & History' being examples)
One picture is now much smaller('El Pasado Momento')
The insertion of 'Brothers Back to Back' which replaced 'Charming Avenue'
Much color correction, most dramatically on Autonomous Paths(looks quite different)
Overall, the second edition has better, more vivid reproductions. The watercolors, in particular, just pop....
There is no reason to track down a 1st edition and pay the cost unless you are a collector/completist. If you are just looking for Parla books, buy Cityscapes 2nd edition and the Elms Lesters Adaptation/Translation book and you're set.

both 1st and 2nd editions of cityscapes are softcover. layered days is hardcover.

Which of the two? Of the Cityscapes editions, the second. It is a better book. The color correction is much improved and the glossy paper really helps the reproductions pop.
Of all Parla books, I'd recommend getting Cityscapes(2nd edition) and the the Adaptation/Translation book from Elms. If you have those two, you have the best covered.
