1968138763London: Cassell 1968. First UK Edition preceding all others. INSCRIBED by Sassoon on the half title page: "To Gerald Naborro / Thank you / Vidal Sassoon / Dorchester Hotel / 26.4.68 / It was very kind of you."<br/><br/>A memoir by the legendary hair designer written when he was 40 years old and at the height of his popularity and influence on woman's fashion. Sassoon was born into extreme poverty with seven years of his childhood spent in an orphanage. He quit school at age 14 became a hairstylist at the suggestion of his mother and after a mercurial rise to fame had a chain of shops and a line of products. He mentored Paul Mitchell who also became a great hairstylist and icon. Mitchell has described Sassoon as "the greatest hair stylist in the history of the world."<br/><br/>Sassoon's lasting contribution to fashion was to liberate women's hair from the high maintenance styles of the previous decade creating casual and modern looks that matched the emerging fashions of the day. He caused an international sensation with his reintroduction of the bob hair cut on Nancy Kwan for 1963's "The Wild Affair" created a shorter and more angular version of it known as the five point cut for British model Grace Coddington and was flown to Los Angeles by Roman Polanski for a press event where he cut Mia Farrow's long hair into the iconic pixie cut she wears in "Rosemary's Baby." <br/><br/>Sassoon went on to write another autobiography several decades later published in 2010 only a year prior to his death. <br/><br/>Near Fine in a bright Near Fine dust jacket.

Engles asks Roach to have the papers signed by the poets.<br/><br/>Together with:<br/>Two typed letters from Walter Damrosch's office to J.T. Roach. Oblong octavo. On stationery with Damrosch's letterhead and signed "Lillian Day." The first dated January 3 1921 is the cover letter to a "corrected copy of M. Widor's song Le Chene du souvenir" the song is not present. The second dated November 14 1921 inquires about royalties Damrosch sent to Camille Saint-Saëns and Ralph Vaughan Williams; the writer wants to adjust Damrosch's French bank account; bank receipt Morgan Harjes & Co Paris dated July 8 1921 is attached. Unrecorded and presumably unpublished. The texts are by Henry Rutherford Elliot 1849-1906 a journalist in New York and Edwin Markham 1852-1940 an American poet. "Laugh it off!" is a humorous song in a popular style; The Manger Song of Mary is a lullaby in a more sophisticated style.<br/><br/>The correspondence suggests that both of Vidal's songs were slated for publication by Hinds Hayden & Eldredge in 1923; the scribal copies were most likely intended as engraver's copies. One of the poets Elliot however was no longer alive; there are no materials in the present collection mentioning his heirs. In any case the SACEM forms also Markham's remained unsigned. The publication stalled and the songs were apparently never published.<br/><br/>A French conductor teacher and composer " Vidal is particularly remembered as a fine teacher who was sympathetic to new ideas. At the Paris Conservatoire he taught classes in solfège from 1894 piano accompaniment from 1896 and composition from 1909. Vidal's most successful compositions were the ballet La maladetta 1893 which had been performed nearly 200 times by 1930 and the light opera Eros." David Charlton in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Mabel Montgomery Tuttle born Mabel Chauvenet Holden 1873-after 1921 studied piano with Theodor Leschetizky and Teresa Carreño. unknown books
