Description:
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. Avedon's landmark first book, a collaboration with Capote who supplies the text. A striking collection of full-bleed black and white images. An about very good copy with a small stain to the base of the front board, some wear to the spine ends and some bumping to the bottom front corner in an about very good paper slipcase that has some wear, soiling and some staining as well. No dust jacket. Despite the flaws a solid copy of a poorly made, but beautiful book. (Roth 148-149).

Description:
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. 151 pages. Avedon's landmark first book, a collaboration with Capote who supplies the text. A striking collection of full-bleed black and white images. A clean very near fine copy in paper covered boards in a very good acetate dust jacket with some large chips/chunks missing and in a near fine slipcase with some light wear. Still a much nicer than usual copy of a book that is inherently fragile. (Roth 148-149).

Description:
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. Hardcover. Folio. Glossy paper over boards, original clear acetate wrapper, slipcase. 151pp. Numerous illustrations. Near fine/near fine/very good. Quite minor slipcase wear; ownership signature on rear flyleaf. Tight and quite lovely first edition of the first book by the fashion and portrait photographer (1924-2003), accompanied by Capote's provocative text. While copies signed by Avedon and/or Capote are especially desirable, this unusual extra-illustrated copy bears bold signatures of six of the photographer's celebrity subjects in ink on fine, matching heavy stock 5" X 3" cards tipped to front flyleaf. Top row, left to right, is BRIGITTE BARDOT (born 1934, French actress and model, appears on page 107), who signs hugely in blue fineline, dating it September 1983 at upper right; and RUDOLF BING (1902-97, long-time New York Metropolitan Opera manager, appears on page 21), who signs boldly in black ink, dating it 20 March 1980 at upper right. Middle row, left to…
