One Special Summer

New York: Delacorte Press, 1974. First Edition (Limited). Hardcover. Fine in Near Slipcase. First Edition (Limited). Hardcover. One of 500 copies signed by Lee and Jacqueline Bouvier. As Lee Radziwill explains in the introduction to the 1951 journal, the book was made as a gift to their mother in appreciation for allowing the sisters to take their first unchaperoned journey in Europe. "We split the fun: Jackie did the drawings, the poetry and the parts on Rome and Spain. I described most of our adventures - on the Queen Elizabeth, in London, Paris, Venice, Rome and Florence." A very handsome copy of a wonderful and very desirable volume. Slight discoloration (glue based) at edges of slipcase, minor sunning to spine, signed by authors, else tight, bright and unmarred. Blue textured boards with line drawing of both sisters in metallic blue ink. 4to. np. Illus (color plates). Limited Edition, one of 500 copies to be signed by both Jackie and Lee Bouvier.
