Item description from seller

A very presentable copy of the stated 1967 1st edition. Clean and Near Fine to Fine in a crisp, price-clipped, VG to VG+ dustjacket, with a bit of fraying and one or two small closed tears along the spine crown, and very minor creasing at the foot of the spine. Quarto, deeply-lush gravures throughout, in fact famously so. The richness of the photography in the early printings of "How to Wrap 5 Eggs" is spellbinding, making this title, among collectors of beautiful books on design and photography, a prized addition to a serious library. Add to the mix a thoughtful Foreword by the pre-eminent American industrial designer George Nelson (1908-1986) and we have here one of the great examples of post-War Japanese design and packaging.
