A propos de cet article

First Edition (NAP) of the English language edition. If you make a search you'll see how rare this book is. Fernand Mourlot wrote the ten-page Introduction and his firm produced the posters. The last page states 'The printing of this book was completed on October 6th 1959 . The text composed in Jaugeon type was printed at the Impri Merie Nationale de France. The posters were reproduced by Mourlot Freres'. There's a nine-page 'Descriptive Catalogue' at the end of the book. The majority of these posters were done in the 1950s to advertise art exhibitions. The book includes 102 color lithographic plates on rectos only. I turned over every page and can promise that every poster is present. The cloth covers are a soft yellow. There is a small amount of spotting on the front and rear. The blue lettering on the front and spine is nicely bright and free of wear. There is spotting on both the top and bottom cover edges, none on the covers middle edges. The top page edge looks very clean. There are three tan spots on the middle page edge. They did not migrate onto the actual pages. The bottom page edge looks pretty clean, maybe a few hard-to-see light spots. Looking directly at the middle page edge you'll see that the page ends, top and bottom, have a bit of a swerve to the right. This did not cause any of the page corners to have creases. In fact, I didn't see any corner creases. Regarding the binding: Many pages are detached. This is very commonly the case with this book (read what AI had to say at the end of my Description). The early pages, the title page, the Introduction pages, and the early poster pages are not detached. But beginning with the 19th poster all the pages are detached, some singly, and most in gatherings where they are bound to one another. The last page detailing the date the book was completed, etc. is not detached, nor is the rear end paper. And both covers are nicely, tightly bound. IMPORTANTLY, all the page detachments are clean. Their edges look perfectly fine. The text and poster pages, in fact, don't show any wear. There's a slight toning off the edges of the pages, but almost all of the pages are perfectly clean (the title page and first two pages of the Introduction have one amber spot in the same place at their blank bottom margin, one other page has a few small margin spots). The front inside cover has only two small amber spots. The blank front end paper four. The rear inside cover and rear end paper none. And there are no markings, no attachments, and no writing to be found anywhere in the book. The colors in the posters, I should mention, have retained their vibrancy, look as they would have in 1959. Sans original acetate jacket cover. The dust jacket looks pretty good, as you can see. I've always had it in a protective cover. The colors are nicely bright. There's a closed tear(1/2 inch) at the top front edge, another slightly smaller one at a top corner. There are also a few thin scuffs at the front and rear top edges. And there is a tan discoloration at the spine's bottom edge, and thinly just above the front and rear bottom edges, jutting up a little in one spot on the rear one. There's also a sliver of loss at both spine ends. The only print ('Printed In France') is on the rear flap of the jacket. The jacket is not priced or clipped. The flaps are free of soiling. There's one crease just below the front flaps top edge. As noted--I asked AI about the binding: 'Yes, it is highly common for pages and signature groups to be detached in the 1959 edition of Art in Posters. While the 102 color lithographic plates printed by Mourlot Frères are universally praised for their exceptional quality, the physical construction of the book was notoriously poor. Booksellers, auction houses, and collectors regularly note structural failures with this specific first edition.' Partially quoting Heritage Auctions: It is incredibly frequent to find copies with sections or individual plates fully detached.'.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
