GERALD BENNEY Goldsmith The Story of fifty years at the bench Signed by Author Illustrated with real photographs. Magnifient book covering the life and work of the iconic designer and goldsmith GERALD BENNEY. This is a large FIRST EDITION FOLIO. It is Signed by the author and there is a further gift inscription signed by the author on a seperate page. The dustjacket is a little worn. This was written by Graham Hughes  This book is valued at several hundred pounds when perfect. This is not perfect , it has been in the damp and has some damage at the top of the pages near the spine , where it has been in contact with water. There is subsequent damage to a square inch or so at this point on most pages and some of the pages are damaged where they have been pulled apart at this point. The inner and outer pages have also had water damage. It can still be used as an every day reference book , but the condition does let it down. It is Profusely illustrated with fabulous photos of this iconic designers work.
