Garden City: Garden City Publishing Co., Inc, 1946. Hardcover. Reprint of the Houghton edition, first Garden City issue; 249p., thickly illustrated with four large photosections well-reproduced (and listed with captions), hardbound in brown cloth boards lettered in dark green, top edge tinted green, and enclosed in the dust jacket. These stills are great, Osa and husband were people persons. Movie-films also were taken, which were shown to paying audiences in Australia to keep up the Johnsons' finances. The book itself bears a dealer's penciled note, and, laid-in, a very acidic slip with handwritten Johnson titles - this slip has badly toned adjacent leaves but we've left it in. The dust jacket is quite edgeworn and has an eyesore of a sticker scar that affects cover titling. Otherwise sound, clean and unmarked.
