A Thousand Days of Magic [*SIGNED*]

New York: Rizzoli International Publications. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean book with just the teensiest bit of wear to the lower extremities; the jacket shows only light handling wear, tiny tears and slight dog-earing at upper spine corners (flaws effectively mitigated by a newly-applied mylar jacket cover)]. (B&W & color photos, costume drawings, facsimiles) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "To ____ / with friendship / Oleg Cassini." The title references the 1,000 days of the John F. Kennedy Administration, during which the author "designed over 300 outfits for Jackie (truncated) Kennedy -- coats, dresses, evening gowns, suits, and day wear. He coordinated every aspect of her wardrobe, from shoes and hats to gloves and handbags." In this lavishly-illustrated memoir, Cassini "offers a fascinating and comprehensive view of his role as Jackie's personal couuturier," his comfortable fit into Kennedyworld, and his "unprecedented access to both Jackie and John Kennedy as a designer and a trusted friend." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy oversize book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
