Numerous color illustrations. A superb, tight first edition of what's really a study of "Paintings and 1984 Olympic postal designs by Robert Peak" -- Peak (1927-92) being the famed and prolific artist/illustrator responsible for a large number of iconic film posters, memorable national magazine covers -- and postage stamps. Half leather over gold-stamped blue cloth in original illustrated dust jacket. Profusely illustrated with double- and full-page color reproductions of drawings by Robert Peak, 1983-84 Olympic commemorative issues of stamps & postal cards, all in color. Foreword by James A. Michener. Minor creasing, scuffing and staining on dust jacket, book in very good condition.
This is a beautiful collectible hardcover book.
