Dietrich, Marlene (1901-1992) Marlene Dietrich's ABC, Signed Limited Edition.
New York: Frederick Ungar Publishing, 1984.
Limited revised edition, octavo, number 40 of 250 copies signed by Dietrich in black ink on the front free flyleaf and illustrated with more than twenty black-and-white photographs; bound in publisher's white cloth, gilt stamped spine; with the pink pictorial dust-jacket, unclipped (jacket spine sunned with bumps to corners and minor creasing to spine head); 8 1/4 x 5 1/4 in.
This alphabetical compendium capturing memories, people, ideas, and recipes significant to Marlene Deitrich's life gained immense popularity following its original release in 1962. Since then, the limited number of first edition copies have become highly sought after by collectors and fans worldwide. This special revised edition responds to "the many letters from most countries of our world" sent to Deitrich begging her for a new edition. Completed decades after the first edition, this revised version includes additional entries reflecting the actor's changed perspectives, personality, and beliefs, accented with numerous photographs taken of Deitrich throughout her career.
