First Edition. This copy belonged to the �Busby Berkeley girl,� actress Gwen Seager, and has several inscriptions to her. The book is inscribed by the author, Jim Terry: �To Gwen, With love and appreciation, Jim Terry, Sept 14, 1973, Ps. You�re still a �great looking broad.�� Also, inscribed by one of Busby Berkeley�s male dancers, actor James Baker: �To Gwen. One of Busby�s lovelies. Jimmie Baker.� Additionally, the book is signed by actress Vicki Vinton, another of Berkeley�s girls, and she has signed it rather charmingly. The title page is a wonderful large two page photograph of Berkeley huddled with a bevy of beautiful women. Vicki Vinton is in the front foreground, semi-reclining, and Vinton has signed her name on one of her long lithe legs. The definitive coffee-table book on Berkeley written with his cooperation, with spectacular illustrations of his film musicals. Contains a foreword by Ruby Keeler. Near fine copy with some slight spotting to the rear board in a very good dust jacket with some edge wear and rubbing at the folds. Difficult to find in this condition.
