Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. INSCRIBED on FFEP: His (Cecil Beaton's personal copy) book not to be taken away! Provenance: The Estate of Miss Eileen Hose, Sir Cecil's devoted companion, assistant, and personal secretary. BEATON, Cecil [214] pp. Weidenfeld & Nicholson 1955 First Printing 8 3/4" x 6" In the winter of 1952-3 and for six weeks in 1954 Beaton completed two lecture tours of America, combating his nerves and delivering his speech to a string of Ladies Clubs across the continent. It Gives Me Great Pleasure is an account of his adventures on these tours. The book is as much about discovering the people and places of America as it is about the lecture tour itself. Beaton visited many cities, including Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Grand Rapids, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans, Florida, Boston and Montreal in Canada. Each destination had a different hotel, a different audience, a different culture and a different taxi driver. Inscribed by Author(s).
