Taylor, Elizabeth (1932-2011)
Elizabeth Taylor: An Informal Memoir.

New York: Harper & Row, 1965.

First edition, octavo, illustrated with more than 50 black-and-white images of Taylor and her family; bound in pink vinyl-backed publisher's cloth, spine lettered in pink; with original unclipped jacket; 8 3/8 x 5 1/2 in.

"From these casual recollections emerges a most unexpected Elizabeth Taylor-a woman of wit, with a gift for vivid images and sudden, blazing insights into herself and the extraordinary world in which she has always lived. Her story, together with fifty-six photographs by her oldest friend, actor Roddy McDowall, plus a collection from her family album, becomes the unparalleled self-revelation of a worldwide star in all her strengths and fragilities, her angers and aspirations, her joys and sorrows." (Quoted from the jacket flap).
