A nearly perfect copy, with no visible wear. Alexis, Baron de Rede (1922-2004) was a man of exceptional elegance &amp; style. An exquisite host, whose parties were legendary. He was never far from the epicentre of high society. His personal friends were diverse and included the Duke &amp; Dutchess of Windsor, Nureyev, Dali, Cecil Beaton, Maria Callas, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton to name just a few. His was an extraordinary life in which aesthetic perfection was his aim. His Oriental ball in 1969 was the last in a world in which magnificent costume balls were given and the Beau Monde of the world invited. His memoirs, edited by Hugo Vickers, stand as a testament to the High Society of his day. A nearly flawless copy of a scarce and sought after book!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bookseller<\/strong> <strong>Inventory #<\/strong> 15711<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bea-portal-theme-alibrisMain\"><span class=\"bea-portal-theme-alibrisInvisible\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6442\" title=\"9781904349037\" src=\"https:\/\/blackcatbooks.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/9781904349037.gif\" alt=\"9781904349037\" width=\"132\" height=\"187\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"sold\">SOLD<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"book-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Alexis : The Memoirs of the Baron de Rede<\/strong><\/em><span id=\"book-author\"><br \/>\nVickers, Hugo<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>ISBN:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-isbn\">190434903X<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Publisher:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-publisher\">Dovecote Press<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Publication Date:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-pubdate\">2005<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Binding:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-binding\">Hard Bound<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Book Condition:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-bookcondition\">Near Fine<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Dust Jacket Condition:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-dustjacketcondition\">Near Fine<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Edition:<\/strong> <span id=\"biblio-edition\">First Edition<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description: Hard bound with dust jacket.
