195240708NY:: Cowles Magazines 1952. First Edition. Periodical. 4to 229. Articles on various subjects heavily illustrated; some with fold-out or cut pages. Red cloth with cut-out on front. A nice copy. Designed by Federico Pallavicini and printed and bound at the Lakeside Press. An annual issued after the demise of the magazine. In her "Editor's Note" the magazine's founder/editor calls this volume "my reply to those who wrote since the magazine's demise and to the many others I hope still wonder with some yearning about Flair. I bring it back as a book in which you will find in the separate folios which follow each an entity in itself each in fact like a slim separate book subjects in which I believe many people will share a common interest with me. You will see them presented with the same physical attributes which distinguished Flair Magazine -- the same beauty and invention and the element of surprise imitations of which have flattered Flair since its suspension.
