THIS IS THE FIRST GUIDE TO THE ORDERS AND MEDALS AWARDED TO EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE I OF ETHIOPIA.  HE WAS THE WORLD'S MOST DECORATED HEAD OF STATE DURING HIS LIFETIME, YET HE WAS VERY HUMBLE. 

139 TOTAL DECORATIONS ARE LISTED AS BEING AWARDED TO HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY.

ALL THE WRITING AND CHARTS ARE BILINGUAL, FRENCH AND ENGLISH, AS ARE ALL THE CAPTIONS.

THE AUTHOR IS GAD ANBESSA.

THE BOOK IS 96 PAGES OF CRUCIAL INFORMATION AND PHOTOS ABOUT THE UNIQUE SUBJECT, LABORIOUSLY GATHERED OVER MANY YEARS WITH SOME HELP FROM MYSELF AND OTHER FRIENDS THAT ARE RECOGNIZED IN THE BOOK.  THE BOOK CONTAINS 72 PHOTOS, MOST OF WHICH ARE FULL COLOR, NOT COUNTING ALL THE RIBBONS THAT REPRESENT THOSE ORDERS AND MEDALS.

THERE ARE ONLY 200 COPIES OF THIS BOOK PRINTED SO FAR, AND I ONLY HAVE A SMALL PROPORTION OF THOSE AVAILABLE, ALL OF WHICH ARE

GENEROUSLY SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. 

I "HAILE RECOMMEND" THIS GREAT REFERENCE BOOK. 

IT ALSO COMES WITH IT'S OWN CUSTOM BOOKMARK.

This is my first copy of the first edition, second printing with all corrections from the first printing corrected and included, so no correction pages are necessary.
