Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction, 46. NYPL Books of the Century, p.145. Galbraith "saw as perilous the modern economy's focus on ever-increasing production.

Chicago, Illinois: Unpublished, 1982. Black and white photograph of Pavarotti boldly SIGNED by the famed singer in felt-tip pen. The signed photo was a premium given to some of Chicago's Lyric Opera "Friends" who donated during the 1982 Operathon. Accompanying the photo is a letter from the Operathon Committee explaining that the autographed photo was a substitute for a promised signed Pavarotti album, which was not available because the singer had cancelled his scheduled Chicago performance, as he was wont to do. Also included is the original envelope in which the photo was mailed. All 3 items are in excellent condition.. SIGNED. First Edition. Unbound. Fine. 10" X 8". Manuscript.
