"Bill Owens' Suburbia was one of the most popular and successful American photobooks of the 1970s. [...] Suburbia was a personal project carried out when Owens worked for his local newspaper, the Livermore Independent, in California and after he had taken a class in visual anthropology." (quoted by: Martin Parr/Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A history, Volume II, London 2006, ill. p. 24)
