Item description from seller

(pictorial covers; no dust jacket, as issued) [essentially as-new, the only flaws being a couple tiny nicks on the rear cover]. (color and B&W photographs) Lavishly-produced auction catalog, offering 588 lots of nearly every sort of thing that your average long-divorced wife of an iconic celebrity might have hanging around her very well-appointed home: furniture, clothing, artwork, jewelry, silverware, pottery, purses, shoes, etc. etc. -- even a few things that actually belonged to the celebrity in question (including some of his books). What must it be like, I wonder, to go on being known as "Mrs. So-and-So," when you've been divorced from Mr. So-and-So for decades? (In Nancy's case, since 1951.) But to give her and Frank their due, by all reports they remained close for the rest of their lives, through all Frank's many romances, affairs and marriages; Nancy herself never remarried, and outlived Frank by twenty years -- and from the evidence of this catalog alone, she never had to suffer any economic deprivation. (Sinatra himself, it should be noted, makes only intermittent appearances throughout this catalog, mostly in the form of photographs used to authenticate various personal items (cufflinks, books, etc.); not too surprisingly, there is no significant memorabilia on offer related more than glancingly to his professional career.) ****NOTE that additional postage charges for international shipping of this heavy volume; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order. As always at ReadInk, domestic Media Mail shipping is FREE.****.…

Store description

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
