Item description from seller

First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, some faint scratches to mid front jacket, price clipped and price replaced with publisher's sticker (£8.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 337pp, illustrated, illustrated endpapers. British journalist, tv presenter and biographer Shelley Rohde (1933-2007), moved to Manchester in the 1960s as a reporter for the Daily Mail and a presenter on Granada Television. She began to investigate the local artist L. S. Lowry (Laurence Stephen Lowry, 1877-1976), and was eventually to become an acknowledged expert on him. Her documentary on him, 'L.S. Lowry: A Private View', was made after she had interviewed the artist personally, which she did several times during his later life. This was in itself an achievement, given that Lowry was known to be difficult to pin down to an interview appointment and to any clear content and was inclined to amuse himself by making up stories. He first told Rohde he had given up painting long ago, but it was noticed that the paint on a canvas was wet. It later became the basis for this book.
