Blue illustrated eps.245pp; having additional glossy b/w photographic reproductions, including portraits of Stravinsky by Edward Weston(2) and Arnold Newman (double page). Some pages in colour and representations from more distinguished artists and writers than one could wave a baton at. A unique, beautifully-designed work.
