First edition. First edition. Illustrated. 204 pp. 1 vols. Small 4to. Presentation Copy to His Wife. Inscribed by the author and famous New York architect (1884-1972) on the flyleaf, to his wife, Beatrice [Sulzberger] Kahn: "To Beatrice - a fine design "Ely Kahn" A unique association copy of an important - and very personal - book on design, by one of New York's City's most influential architects. The origin of Kahn's book is told in the extensive chapter on his career in Steern, Gilmartin, and Mellins' NEW YORK 1930: ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS (NY, Rizzoli, pp. 550-563): "In 1933, with unemployment among designers so universal that the American Institute of Architects pondered whether to recommend the closing of art and architecture schools, Kahn argued . for a return to craft as a method for solving unemployment. He obtained a grant from the Carnegie Foundation to travvel around the world investigating the artist's role in society . much of his time was spent in the Far East in a last fling with exoticism . "Kahn's report on his trip [was] a book called DESIGN IN ART AND INDUSTRY; its exoticism, its picturesque local color, its concern with the individual craftsman and the handing down of vernacular traditions from father to son - all of these seemed irrelevant in a world that had turned its attention to encouraging the utmost efficiency and standardization in industry." Provenance: From the Estate of Ely Jacques Kahn Original blue cloth. Rebacked, preserving original spine. Two preliminary leaves chipped at outer margin. Very scarce Illustrated. 204 pp. 1 vols. Small 4to.

First Edition. First printing. 12mo. Red cloth hardcover; dustjacket; 125pp; illus. Tight and straight; small splash-stain to upper corner of rear board, else Very Good. In the original dustwrapper, unclipped (priced $2.00 on front flap); lightly soiled, with small stain to rear panel, being transfer from the aforementioned stain on rear board; Very Good. One of the earliest and (in this cataloguer's opinion) still one of the best full-length profiles of Sinatra, originally published as a series of articles in The New Yorker where Kahn was a staff writer for nearly fifty years. Essential for gathering the flavor and extraordinary progress of Sinatra's early fame and the post-war "bobb-soxer" phenomenon.
