About This Item
New York: Pocket Books, 1998. BRAND NEW in a BRAND NEW dust jacket. PERFECT CONDITION. A beautiful, pristine copy -- bright, shiny, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. Obviously never read. Not a book club edition. Not price clipped ($25.00). Not a remainder. No owner's name or bookplate. Includes a 35-page Discography of Bennett's singles and albums with contents and release dates. From the dust jacket: "He's that regular guy from Astoria Queens, who left his heart in San Francisco... Honored with countless awards, including eight Grammys and with more than ninety albums to his credit... no other recording artist has attained Bennett's stature -- or garnered the half-century of memories shared in 'The Good Life.' From Sinatra, Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald, to k. d. lang and Elvis Costello, Bennett shares his unique takes on the most interesting talents of our time... In this wonderfully revealing self-portrait, we get to know Tony Bennett as he really is: an unpretentious and thoughtful human being. -- It was incredible. I was at the top of my game at the age of sixty-eight, and it was an honor to be recognized by my peers. What meant the most to me was that I had accomplished all this without compromising my music. I felt like I had been to the moon and back." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. 8vo. 312pp. + 40 pages of illustrations. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
