A propos de cet article

[light external handling wear only, but because this is a perfect-bound volume one section of pages near the front of the book has become detached from the glued binding]. (B&W photographs, ads) Tribute/program book for an event held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on December 3, 1990, at which the Society of Singers honored Sinatra. It was an all-star affair, for sure, with the performers including Tony Bennett, George Burns, Rosemary Clooney, Harry Connick Jr., Ella Fitzgerald (who was also the Honorary Dinner Chairwoman), Eydie Gorme, Jack Jones, Peggy Lee, Henry Mancini, Tony Martin, Bette Midler, Dinah Shore, and others. The book itself is one of those lots-of-ads/minimal-editorial-content things, with about ten pages up front extolling what a great guy Sinatra was (with lots of photos), and the remaining 90 pages or so filled with "tribute" ads, about half of which are full-page, with the rest dwindling progressively down to 1/8-page size. Per some of the front matter, the Society of Singers was conceived as a charitable organization, along the lines of Actors Equity or the Motion Picture and Television Fund, their goal being "to create a fund to help singers who need medical or other emergency care and to eventually establish a residentical facility for singers." (Sinatra was, literally, the Chairman of the Board of this organization.) The Sinatra tribute was the second of the organization's almost-annual benefit events; the first had been held in 1989, when the recipient of the first "Ella" award was, well, Ella Fitzgerald herself. The organization had been founded in 1984, by Ginny (Mrs. Henry) Mancini and others, and from 1989 through 2011 they managed to put on one of these shindigs almost every year -- but then they skipped a couple of years, returned for one last hurrah in 2014 (when the recipient was Mike Love of the Beach Boys), but by 2017 they had ceased active fundraising, without ever having gotten up enough steam, it seems, to do much more than give themselves awards and hand out a few scholarships along the way. (Apparently the organization still exists, at least on paper: it has a Yelp page that contains a mission statement that makes it sound like they're still doing all the things they set out to do in 1984, but the address is a mailbox at a UPS Store in Calabasas, California, and there's a link that goes to something entirely different.) ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy volume; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
