In the winter of 1952-3 and for six weeks in 1954 Beaton completed two lecture tours of America, combating his nerves and delivering his speech to a string of Ladies’ Clubs across the continent. It Gives Me Great Pleasure is an account of his adventures on these tours. The book is as much about discovering the people and places of America as it is about the lecture tour itself. Beaton visited many cities, including Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Grand Rapids, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans, Florida, Boston and Montreal in Canada. Each destination had a different hotel, a different audience, a different culture and a different taxi driver. Through his anecdotes and stories Beaton explores the individuality of the different States and revels in the vastness of the America experience

First edition, first printing. Inscribed presentation copy. With two autograph letters signed on Beaton's Reddish House stationary. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. With the bookplate of Mary Anna Marten to the front free endpaper. An excellent near fine copy, with a family Christmas gift inscription to the front pastedown. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked price-clipped dustwrapper.

Inscribed by Cecil Beaton in black ink on the title page “For Mary Anna - With Love from Mrs. Charles B. Emery and Cecil Beaton”. Tipped in to the rear endpapers are two autograph letters from the author to Mary Anna Marten.

Rare 'association' copy replete with the 'Crichel House' bookplate of Mary Anna Marten, OBE (1929-2010) god-daughter to The Queen Mother and sister to Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster.

Her son, Napier was a page at the coronation of Elizabeth II.

Small and compact
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I didn’t expect it to be small - which is better, I think. Should have read the info. Photo in comparison with the 2024 Nursing Drug Handbook I recently purchased.

Dirty and shabby
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
It's dirty and a bit shabby. The book doesn't have any packaging. Looks like someone has used it before.

A Glimpse of the Father's Love
A compelling book that allows the reader to connect with the genuine love of the Father. Until we understand this unconditional love, we stay stuck in our humanness filled with the wounds and pain of a broken world. This book provides a path to healing and definitely worth reading!
