A propos de cet article

Haskell, hardcover with no dust jacket, first edition, illustrated with 37 B/W photos. 1958. BOOK CONDITION: good. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, marks, or dog-ears. On copyright page the tape which was covering the copyright date has been removed, leaving behind a stripe, but the print is still legible. Not a remainder nor library book. No bookplates nor signature of prior owner. The first and last endpapers and pastedowns are slightly foxed and have minor smudges. The top and side edges are also foxed. The red cloth boards are in good condition (one bumped corner, somewhat bowed lengthwise, a few slight spots on front and back, slight spine bumping, and light fading of spine but lettering still crisp). 9 ½ x 6 ½, 572 pages, 48 ounces NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS THREE POUNDS, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE U.S OR REQUIRE PRIORITY MAIL INSIDE USA XX [from the preface] It is perhaps desirable to preface the DECCA BOOK OF BALLET with some explanation of its more novel features.
