Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. Near fine condition color photographic softcover/magazine wraps. All pages are in fine unmarked condition. Includes Introduction and List of Photographers. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs. "The pictures you hold in your hands are from the LIFE that, suspended as a weekly in 1972, was reborn as a monthly in 1978. Like most such collections, this one is a kind of betrayal; the photographs - and photographers - most poignantly present here are the ones that are not included. There are several other collections called The Best of LIFE that we could have done, and perhaps someday we will. In the meantime, we will busy ourselves with the sort of journalism that inspires pictures that one day can stand alone, pictures that outlive their stories, pictures as great as poems. We chose the text of a poem, Whitman's "One's-Self I sing" from Leaves of Grass, to accompany the photographs in the section that follows. But as an epigraph for this collection, a few lines from Whitman's "Starting from Paumanok" serve better. Let them serve as an epigraph for photography as well, and for this magazine: This then is life, Here is what has come to the surface after so many throes and convulsions. How curious! How real!" " - excerpt from the Introduction by James R. Gaines, managing editor. Cook, Dennis (cover photograph) (illustrateur).…

First edition first impression 1993. 176 pages. Illustrated in black and white. Cloth. Near fine in dustjacket. Seventy years after it was launched by its creator, Cecil Kimber, the MG has become a legend. The most familiar, best loved, most cherished and collectable of all cars, it is sought after, lovingly restored and entered in rallies, races and hill-climbs throughout the world. Its fans are legion and growing year by year. This exciting celebration of the MG's glorious history is in itself a treasure trove for all the car's devotees. It present an insider's view of the making of the MG Legend, with contributions from men and women who have been associated with the car and its creator since the early days and who have provided much previously unrecorded information, together with a wealth of historic photographs, many published here for the first time. Jean Cook, Cecil Kimber's daughter, has advised at every stage of the book's preparation and has written her own personal and unique account of how the MG was born, lending many photographs from her personal album to illustrate her memories of her father. The special interest of her contribution is matched by those of Cyril Mellor, Barry Foster, Anna Guerrier, David Saunders, Geoff Shirt and Mike Allison, each of whom had deep knowledge of particular aspects of the MG company and the different marques. A little-known essay by Cecil Kimber himself appears here in book form for the first time. The book contains a complete listing of all MG models, including the new MG RV8, and a biography of specialist titles for devotees. About 100 photographs illustrate the different marques, the personalities and the historic moments in the history of a car for that was designed as an inexpensive sports car for the general public and has become an international celebrity whose immortality is assured. …
