Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. Elegant, silver-stamped folio cloth with blind-stamped decorative motifs.121pp. Illustrated with the striking b/w photographs, posed & candid, taken by Kobrin of various celebrities & Hollywood stars. Presentation copy, "___ & ___ Best Wishes Bill Kobrin 2007". Kobrin achieved particular fame with his publicity photos of Marilyn Monroe & her wind-blown dress while "The Seven Year Itch" was in production (5 of them are reproduced in this volume). Photos of the "Rat Pack", Perry Como, & many more from the 50s & 60s: Carry Grant, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Jerry Lewis, Jack Parr, Johnny Carson, Richard Harris, Angis Dickenson, Jane Russell, Polly Bergen, & many more (even Charlie Sheen). There are two pages of text, one of which is devoted to the MM / skirt blowing scene. An attractively designed & bound book which may qualify for that questionable term, "a modern rarity".

Hardcover. Condizione: VG Minus. No Jacket. 1st. Looks bright and fine but it is missing the blank black endpaper and the removal of it has left an obvious but fairly neat scar there. So - it starts with the half-title page rather than having the free blank endpaper. All else is unmarked and looks about fine and new. Contains some photographs published nowhere else by this famous photographer. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
