This is a near new copy of the the Violet Isle, the long out-of-print book by the husband and wife team of Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb.

"So, in the spirit of a duet—with its point-counterpoint—we decided to weave our images together to create a multi-layered portrait of this ‘Violet Isle,’ a little known name for Cuba that is inspired by the rich color of its soil, this island in a bubble whose people and animals seem caught out of time, a place that’s engaging yet unsettling, a place that’s vibrant yet vulnerable, a place that—for better or worse—probably won’t exist as it is much longer."

—from “Two Looks,” their afterword to Violet Isle, written in January 2009.
