The copyright page states First Edition. However, the Number Line goes down to 2 not 1, so this is a second printing. Albert Hadley has signed and inscribed the book on the half-title page. The inscription reads: 'For Wendy Dewey-- With great pleasure! Albert Hadley.' I've rated both the book and the dust jacket Near Fine mostly because I equate 'Fine' with perfect. The book and the jacket are, in fact, quite close to perfect. You can see that the red covers are perfectly clean. The spine and spine edges look terrific. So to the corners. The black lettering is very bright. The edges look very good. There is one white speck on the bottom edge of the front cover and two white specks on the bottom edge of the rear cover. I don't see any staining on the page edges. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover, with nicely tight pages, no binding issues. The illustrated end papers are perfectly clean and show no wear at all. The 182 pages that comprise the book can be described in an identical manner. Finishing up, there are no markings anywhere in the book. No attachments of any kind. And with the exception of Albert Hadley's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. I should mention that the photographs perfectly capture the lustrous interiors. I've owned this book for a good number of years and have always had the jacket in a fitted protective cover. The protective cover is in very good shape so I'm not going to replace it. You'll notice that the 1st and 4th photos (front and rear of dj) are shot at an odd angle. That was how I triumphed against the stubborn glare off the protective cover. Very proud of myself! Continuing, I'm not seeing any soiling anywhere on the jacket, and I'm not seeing any tears. I think the jacket is pretty close to perfect. The flaps are black. The lettering there is white and red. I don't see any soiling or wear on the flaps. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. 'For more than half a century, Parish-Hadley Associates has been synonymous with classic American elegance. Their distinctive blend of comfort and style has set the standard for interior design in a wide variety of settings, including the Kennedy White House. In this lavishly illustrated book (168 color photos), America's most celebrated interior decorators at last reveal the secrets of their timeless and unique style.'.…

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
