Hardback. Acceptable/No Jacket. Unknown edition but mid 1950's judging by the photographs. Foreword by Maurice Chevalier. Has been rebound in quality library binding - heavy duty boards covered in green buckram with gilt title to spine. There is no title page and the usually adjacent striking photograph of a nude dancer is also missing, but there are none of the normal library marks either. In generally good condition, boards are slightly worn to edges. Binding tight, no annotations or inscriptions, text and photographs clean and clear throughout. There is a small stain to p17 and the photograph at p48 has been torn out. A very good reading copy.

About Hall of Books

We do our best to describe and photograph our books and music accurately, and to package them securely when they sell. We do not rely on stock images. If you need more information on a particular item, or if we have not yet uploaded a photograph for a particular listing, please contact us and we will respond by return.
