Lucite Purse Book - A Certain Style
Product Description
Please click top photo to enlarge.
A Certain Style, The Art of the Plastic Handbag, 1949-59 by Robert Gottlieb and Frank Maresca is long out of print and extremely hard to find. This is a first (and only) edition, published in 1988.
This book tells the history of the lucite purse and the fascinating story of how Robert Gottlieb, former editor of 'The New Yorker' magazine, accidentally started his incredible collection. But the best part is the fabulous purse photos, 92 full-color, full-page photos. This is a hardcover book with dust jacket and measures 10-1/4" x 9-1/2". There is no price guide which would be outdated and price guides in purse books, even recent publications, are often extremely inaccurate and therefore of little value anyway.
Excellent Condition. No tears, folded corners, dirt, writing, or marks on any of the pages. No remainder marks. The dust jacket has some light scratches, most noteably one which goes across the picture of the purse.
Below are some sample photos; the last photo is the back cover. There are 86 more fantastic pictures, each one more amazing than the last.
