This Lustrum Press edition follows the deluxe edition published earlier the same year in Japan by Motomura Kazuhiko. The Lustrum edition contains fewer images and employs a slightly different sequence. The Lines of My Hand is Frank's photographic autobiography, dedicated to his two children, Pablo and Andrea, 'who are trying to find a better way to live.' The photographs represent every stage of his work to the time of publishing. They are presented chronologically and selected less for their historic or aesthetic significance than their personal meaning to Frank.
