I would buy from the seller again. Book arrived quickly and was in perfect condition.
The only thing that I wasn't happy about was that it took almost a month to receive the book. I couldn't be happier. I love Audrey Hepburn and I wanted this book so badly but it retailed for a lot more than I was willing to pay. I was skeptical when I found this copy for such a great price but when I received it in the mail it was a brand new copy.
It's moving to see and feel how Audrey Hepburn's roles reflected her best selves at every turn -- resolutely alert, attuned, engaged, yearning, striving, feminine, human -- and be reminded of how a life can really be exemplary, after all. Reading (or more accurately, experiencing) this elegant volume of memorabilia recalls dead ideals, not just of decorous celebrity behavior, but of the quiet conviction of deeds rather than publicized pronouncements from Hollywood's movie stars. This book captures a sense of a life lived in the limelight, but never blinded by it, and conveys an archetypal and emotional journey through a minefield of tempting superficialities, all the way to self-discovery and meaning.
These include a partial script from Breakfast at Tiffany's, many letters to and from Ms. The book is done in a scrapbook format, and beside all of the removable items, has countless photographs with many of them having never been published or from her friends and family's private collections. This is a wonderful collector's item for Audrey Hepburn fans. Hepburn herself, postcards, pictures, photo albums, tickets of movies and programs of plays she's done, and many many other items. This book could have easily cost over $100, and I thank the ones who have put it together for allowing the fans to be a part of such intimate moments and items. I opened the box, and, after looking through the pages, had no other words but "wow". There are 34 removable items of memorabilia.
it is a treasure,must have item. this is a very cute and amazing book about audrey hepburn.
