A reprint edition was published in October 1998, and is available for just under $35 through the Black & White World bookstore.

Go to http://www.photogs.com/bwworld/bwbooks.html and type in Let Truth Be Prejudice in the search field. It should take you there.

I will try to get a direct link to this excellent volume of W. Eugene Smith's work on the page today!

In 1985 there was a traveling exhibit of the work of W. Eugene Smith which I had the pleasure of viewing in Philadelphia. On sale at the show was a wonderful 10"X13" book of the photos displayed. It was called "Let Truth Be The Prejudice." It as an Aperture Book published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For anyone interrested in Smith's work, this is both a biography and a well printed collection of his photos. Perhaps it may be available through the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I think it cost around $35 at the time. Harry

Thanks for the help so far. I'm of course on the lookout for an exhibition within reasonable distance from me, but so far no luck. BTW. there's an exhibition of some photographs by Cartier Bresson here in Copenhagen at the Louisiana art museum starting yesterday, I'm definetely going to see it a.s.a.p. I found some from his 3 weeks turned 3 years Pittsburgh assignment in DoubleTake issue 12 I found some articles too:
