Softcover (there was a second edition in 1973).
"... The Somnambulist certainly delivers on that promise - taking us through moody landscapes and enigmatic interiors, frequently populated by naked women. The style could not be more representative of its era - Robert Frank meets Bill Brandt - and that potent combination, filtered through Gibson's personal sensibility. was an obvious reason for the book's success. Many of the pictures are amongst the most recognizable from the time - the hand and shadow on the door knob, the floating nude, and above all, the cover image - two hands grasping the prow of a boat. It is a surreal dreamscape, gently erotic, with a frisson of danger." (from Parr/Badger - The Photobook: A History Volume I)
