THIS IS A VINTAGE HEIRLOOM ICL WITH LAVISH GILT IMPRESSIONS TO THE BOARDS AND SPINE DONE IN ACTUAL 24K GOLD. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY-PRIZED EDITIONS OF THIS GREAT BIOGRAPHY. The International Collectors Library was a book club series published by Doubleday Book & Music Clubs, Inc. from the late 1940’s through the late 1980’s.Generally, the books followed the 8-1/2″ x 5-3/4″ book size format. The binding designs were adapted based on old “Golden Age of Bookmaking” bindings, and made to look like leather-bound copies (leatherette). The bindings were embossed with 24K gold embellishments, and some copies had gilt edges (thin layer of gold leaf) applied. A sewn in satin ribbon marker was also added in most books. There were over 400 editions published in a variety of bindings. Some editions came with loose-leaf inserts that described the book club, the bindings and design styles, and a story synopsis of the book-in-hand.ABOUT THE BOOK: Elizabeth Jenkins illuminates in great detail the personal and private life of Elizabeth 1. Was she bald? What precisely was her sex-life? What were her emotional attachments? No other biography provides such a personal study of the Queen and her court - their daily lives, concerns, topics of conversation, meals, living conditions, travels, successes and failures - but it also places them firmly within the historical context of 16th Century Britain. An authoritative history of the period enlightened by a through understanding of Elizabethan society and an intimate portrait of the Queen. Description CONDITION: Book is in GREAT condition for its age (63 YEARS OLD) with only some slight shelfwear to the boards and spine, some age spots to the endpages, and a little fading to the spine (SEE PICS FOR BETTER DETAILS).
