About This Item
SIGNED COPY. First edition hardcover, with dust jacket, signed by the author, 2005. Published by Penguin. Signed by Francine du Plessix Gray on the title page with a brief inscription for the former owner, and dated 5/7/05. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. Jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. A memoir of the author's parents. Her step-father, Alexander Liberman being Editorial Director of Vogue and later of all of Conde Nast. Her mother, Tatiana du Plessix, being a well known hat designer and an icon of New York fashion and high-society. 526 pages, with Index, and Notes, some photos through the text. This copy is not a remainder, not a library discard. No writing on the text pages besides the dedication, no former ownership marks. Gray boards over dark purple spine with the author name and title in silver on the spine - all lettering is crisp and not rubbed or worn. Boards are flat and the corners are not rubbed or creased. No edge wear to the boards. There is a couple dots of age foxing on the fore edge of the text block - about the size of a sesame seed. Dust jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo.
