RECENTLY REDUCED: A coveted and rare book at a great price*. This over-sized coffee table hardcover is a Must-Have for anyone in the Design Field! Slim Aarons was a family photographer to the rich in the 70's. The casual pictures he took in-between portraits became it's own book, detailing the lives of the Rich and Famous in un-retouched photos. More than the people in the pictures, their backdrops capture historical design elements created by the best of their day.
This first edition, first printing says "Printed in Italy" and DOES NOT SAY "Copyright" with a date. Research indicates one of the reasons a book does not have a copyright date is because the author did not have 100% approval from all parties (people in the photographs), therefore it cannot legally be copyrighted. Other online references to the different editions of this book, do things like count pages etc, indicating there may be less pictures in later editions (didn't get that approval to put their picture in his book so had to be removed?) The Library of Congress number clearly shows it was published in 1974. The dust jacket is in good condition with a slight tear at the upper left, and upper right corners and bottom edge with some sun fading on the edge where it was stacked on the coffee table, otherwise the book itself is in very good condition.
