Folio, original blue cloth, illustrated throughout. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "Dear Myron We Lived The Dream Great Days Slim Aarons." Fine in a very good dust jacket. Uncommon signed and inscribed. Since publication in 1974, A Wonderful Time has served as a source of inspiration for art designers and advertising gurus. Aarons' pictures appeared on the pages of Harper's Bazaar, Life, Vanity Fair and Holiday. "Attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places" was Aarons's mantra.
