THE LIFE OF PICASSO VOLUME 2 1907-1917 JOHN RICHARDSON 1996 1^ST PRINTING HC DJ.  Please find a very nice copy of the second volume of John Richardson’s opus: “The Life of Picasso- 1907-1917”.  This very large hard cover book (8 ¼ x 10 ¼ x 2 inches 500 pages) was published by Random House of New York dated 1996 and the First Edition/First Printing as per the coding on the copyright page.  The book is bound in white cloth boards with black titles on the spine and protected by a glossy pictorial dust jacket.  Please see the photo of the Table of Contents for your further information.  The book is richly illustrated as you would expect starting with a striking b&w photo of Picasso as a relatively young man- an image I had not seen before.  FYI there are a series of newspaper & magazine clippings about Picasso laid-in at the rear of the book which will convey to the new owner.

Condition:  This book is in very good condition.  The dust jacket is clean and still glossy with negligible wear.  The hard covers too are in very good condition except there is a band of light soiling along the lower ½ inch of the front cover.  A former owner has left his embossed ownership mark on the front endpaper but that is the only mark I found in the book.  The interior pages and many illustrations are clean and bright throughout.  Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound.  This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

Shipping:  This book will be very carefully packed, with bubble wrap and with solid cardboard for their protection and promptly mailed upon payment.  Please note that I do not charge for packing and handling; all you pay is the postage.  Media mail postage for this large-sized hard cover book will be only $6.00.  Within the US for domestic mailings, combined shipping for multiple purchases is gladly offered.  You will pay full price for the shipping of the first book and half price for any others purchased that same week.  For example, two books with shipping at $4 each will ship for $6 combined.

The eBay site has become so popular that it is difficult to find your way back to a seller with an interesting array of listings.  Please consider “book-marking” my site so you can see a constantly changing inventory of other truly vintage books and/or collectible works.

Please also be aware that all my current listings are “spring-summer-fall season” listings held here in New York State.  Once the snow starts again and it gets cold, I will head back to Florida, ending these listings and reverting to another catalogue of different books held there.

Please don’t hesitate to send any questions; I will monitor closely and respond promptly.  Thanks, and enjoy.
