N. Abrams Inc. Publishers, 1970. Hardcover. Book Condition: As New, Particularly well-preserved all tight, bright, and pristine
clean and especially sharp-cornered. VERY FINE dust jacket with only a few light surface creases from handling when taking
out of the original publisher's shipping carton which is also included. This book was most likely only taken out of its shipping
carton a few times at best. I doubt if anyone but myself paged through the entire book. This 1st Edition. coffee table book
is about 2" thick and 12 1/4" wide and 17 3/4" tall. Cover is red buckram with gilt lettering on the spine. Glossy dust jacket
is the famous picture of Norman Rockwell painting a self portrait. Endpapers are a heavy gray woven paper. Frontispiece is
a copy of the oil painting "Marriage License" for the Post Cover, June 11, 1955. ". this volume with its superb reproductions,
including two-, three-, and even four-page spreads and foldouts in full color, finally does justice to an artist whose works
have most often been seen only in the impermanent mediums of magazines and calendars. More than 600 of Rockwell's best illustrations
are reproduced, providing an unusually broad view of his work. There are actually 614 illustrations, including 111 in full
color. He painted 317 Saturday Evening Post covers, all of which are included, along with representative covers and story
illustrations for such diverse publications as St. Nicolas, Life, Look, Leslie's, the Literary Digest, and Ramparts. His advertisements,
which have sold socks and cough medicine, coffee and bicycle tires, fountain pens and oil heaters, light bulbs and insurance,
encyclopedias and tooth past, are also here, ase are murals, posters, greeting cards, Boy Scout calendars, and illustrations
for Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Poor Richard's Almanacks, and the biography of an uncommon thrush named Willie." Consists
of 328 pages with index. (Item # 9387B6)
