Pink book sets are one of the most sought-after shelf arrangements right now — and this curated set of four vintage hardcovers delivers the palette beautifully. From a Hollywood golden age memoir to Cold War adventure to romantic travel literature to British royal history, these four books are as interesting to read as they are to look at, and three of the four come with their original dust jackets.
The literary lineup is exceptional: With Powder on My Nose by Billie Burke — Glinda the Good Witch herself — with Cameron Shipp (1960, dust jacket present), a charming and collectible Hollywood memoir. Two Rubles to Times Square by Guy Richards (1956, first edition, original dust jacket with some flaws), a Cold War adventure narrative. Pavilions of the Heart by Lesley Blanch (1974, dust jacket present), a beautifully written exploration of famous love stories by the celebrated author of The Wilder Shores of Love. And Hampton Court by R. J. Minney (1972), a richly researched history of the famous palace.
Condition varies per book: Burke in good vintage condition with dust jacket; Richards first edition in vintage condition with flawed original jacket; Blanch in good vintage condition with dust jacket; Minney in vintage condition with cover discoloration, no dust jacket. Sold as a set. Ships from Altadena, CA.
