BEIN 2013 +533: Dust jacket; torn, but with no loss of text. The top half of page 15/16 has been torn away from the spine and also torn completely across the middle (the remnants of the taped repairs are still present). Numerous ms. notes in the hand of Bettina Bergery are present throughout the text in two different ink colors, suggesting that they were added at different times. The notes on p. [161] primarily list the names of individuals who were not included in the book but, based on her comments, Bergery apparently felt should have been. Using her own system of codes, marks have been added to the names included in the "Notes on the plates" categorizing individuals as ones Bergery either: "saw;" "met;" "knew;" "great friends;" "didn't like;" etc. (several names also have hearts drawn alongside them, such as Jean Cocteau). Accompanied by several newspaper clippings: 1) "Madame Jacques Duhamel with Salvador Dali" (dated 1971); 2) "Salvador Dali with la baronne Guy de Rothschild and M. Jacques Baumel" (dated 1971 with the comment added in ms., "Alas, poor Dali"); 3) a description of a possible gift to the Metropolitan Museum of items from the Duke of Windsor's wardrobe, inserted between plates 70 and 71 (plate 71 is The Duchess of Windsor); 4) a "Q & A" about Barbara Hutton's response to the death of her son, dated in ms. "1973," and inserted between plates 94 and 95 (plate 94 is Barbara Hutton, "then Countess Curt von Haugwitz-Reventlow"). From the papers of Bettina Bergery.
