THIS IS A 2-PIECE GROUP CONTAINING A BOOK AND A PHOTO DESCRIBED INDIVIDUALLY BELOW.
BOOK:
SYNOPSIS: 1521 pages. See pic of jacket flap for synopsis.
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company, Boston, Toronto. 1979. Book Club Edition (BCE)
Format: Hardback and dust jacket. NOT an EX LIB. Stated First Edition (Thus, of BCE).
Condition: Jacket in Very Good Condition, some rubbing, bumping, and small edge chips. Unclipped flaps. Volume in EXCELLENT condition. Blue cloth boards with gold foil lettering, graphics, and facsimile signature on front cover. Inner pages are flat, bright, clear with no markings. A couple of flaws resulting from errors made at publishing process, two of the black and white photos were still unseparated at bottom edge (the photo pictured of Kissinger standing behind Nixon in Oval Office), and those will be left unseparated. Apparently previous owner did separate the NEXT two photos which left a few very small small edge chips along the bottom because looks like they were separated by hand rather than using a cutting tool. Only flaws noted throughout entire volume. Tightly bound. This volume is quite obviously VERY heavy.
PHOTO:
Origin: Unknown
Size & Format: 8" X 10" glossy black & white
Condition: Some indication clear plastic overwrap has touched the surface. Only visible when held a certain way in the light, and would more than likely be removable by photography cleaning method(s). No indication of origin or photographer. I have had this for many years and was purchased at an estate sale with a lot of press photos and movie / tv studio photos. This may well have been a press photo. It looks as if Mr. Kissinger is autographing a book for someone, and based on his age in the photo, it was possibly taken in the 1970s or early 1980s.
See Grading Scale page for explanation of grades. Photos of any obvious condition issues will be provided.
