Thank you for the book identification.
Twin Palms Publishers is selling some signed, NOS copies of Danny Lyon's The Bikeriders. According to the email I received from Twin Palms:
These copies of the 1997 gravure edition of Danny Lyon's incredible documentary project are new old stock from our archive, and are signed by the artist.
I was almost afraid to look at the price, but it actually isn't that bad at $95.
My book budget is firmly in the red at the moment, but I thought someone here might be interested.
The Bikeriders
This is a personal record, dealing mostly with bikeriders whom I know and care for. If anything has guided this work beyond the facts of the worlds presented it is what I have come to believe is the spirit of the bikeriders: the spirit of the hand that twists open the throttle on the crackling...twinpalms.com

Posting this interview with Tim Carpenter here instead of in the "Photographers" sub-forum because it's essentially about three of his books, Local Objects, Christmas Day, Bucks Pond Road, and To Photograph Is To Learn How To Die. Goes pretty in-depth into the how and the why of each of them.
Learned in the conversation that he was one of the founders of TIS Books.
What threw me was the math: "Twenty years later, Jack Woody, who’s a wonderful publisher, wants to do it in gravure, and he makes it a little bigger. [1988]...Then, in another ten years, [1998] Chronicle Books offered me money to publish it again if I added pictures. This is the worst version of The Bikeriders." The Twin Palms listing for the book states "december 1997" so it left me a little confused which edition they were selling. It is NLA because I bought the last one.I don't think it is. In the interview, Lyon says:
Twenty years later, Jack Woody, who’s a wonderful publisher, wants to do it in gravure, and he makes it a little bigger. There are no additional pictures, but the format’s a little different, and I write a second introduction. So that’s the second edition. That’s really gorgeous.
According to the Twin Palms site:
In 1997, Lyon worked with Jack Woody to re-issue the book in this sheet-fed gravure edition.
So it sounds like the version being sold by Twin Palms is the version that Lyon called "gorgeous".
Moot now since it looks like it's sold out.

BTW, have any of you seen "Antipersonnel," by Raphael Dallaporta (Muse de L'Elysee, Lausanne)? It's a collection of studio portraits of antipersonell mines, shot against black backgrounds as it they were objects of art. The contrast between these evil and lethal devises with their treatment and setting will make your hair stand up.
Yes, I would be horrified.Possibly less visually disturbing than his previous project, where he photographed body parts in during autopsies in the same style.
has anyone bought the accompanying text to this exhibition? One of our half-priced-books locations had a few copies.
