First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First UK edition. For much of the 20th century, Esquire Magazine was a cultural "influencer" before the term was invented. Music in general, and particularly jazz, was one of the topics they covered. After WWII, Esquire began publishing an annual book on jazz. In 1947, a British version was established as well, but edited separately for a British audience. This is the fist edition of the first UK edition of Esquire's Jazz Book. A very good copy in gray cloth with erd titles on the spine and a red illustration on the front cover. Minor scuffing and soiling. The binding is sound. An ink name and date (1947) on the ffep. No other marks or damage. No DJ. CH.
