Fine/fine. Perfectly pristine first edition of this superbly-illustrated chronicle of this three-quarter's of a century old music festival -- with choice presentation inscription from Macaluso in black ballpoint on title page: "Dear Senator Stevenson, / Thank you so much for visiting the Grant Park Music / Festival in Millennium Park and for all that you and / your family have done for Chicago and Illinois! / Sincerely, / Tony Macaluso." In addition, the front flyleaf bears the enormous (8"!) signature in black marker of this music festival's conductor, CARLOS KALMAR, and below it that of its chorus director, CHRISTOPHER BELL.
