Mamarazza [Signed & inscribed]

VG+ oblong quarto 12 x 1.25 x 15.25 inches, 237 pages. This copy is inscribed tin German to “Poppi” – the late Michael A. Thomas, American author, dated 16.12.99 and signed “Marianne”. Scarce, thus. Some darkening to edges of red boards. Pages 67-72 loosening a bit at foot. Jacket has a very few nicks and scratches and a closed tear on the front cover bottom with small stain. Stitching showing here and there, not unusual for a book of these physical proportions – “shaken”, in our parlance. Hundreds of black and white and color photos of family and friends who attended the Princess’ soirees or were just caught lounging on the premises from the fifties through the nineties.
