"Fran" is Frances Rich a sculptor of some renown from the midwest and the daughter of Irene Rich of Hollywood fame. The externals show overall mild shelf wear with heavier wear on the spine tips, more so on the top with some damage to the green cloth. The gilt lettering on the green cloth of the spine is very faded (all gone) and the same lettering on the green cloth of the front shows some loss of the gilt. The binding is a tad loose at both front and back hinges though the text block itself is sound.; Signed by All Authors
