Steps in Time, an Autobiography
by Astaire, Fred
- Used
- first
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1959. First edition (338, index). SIGNED by Astaire on the title page (‘To Margaret / Fred Astaire’). Octavo, in pictorial dust wrapper, black publisher’s cloth with impressed decoration, silver gilt titles to spine. Twenty-four pages of pictures from Astaire’s long career in dance. Price-clipped, dust wrapper lightly nibbled at corners, top of spine; edges a bit discoloured. Small dimple at bottom of p. 4 carries back onto preceding few pages as a crease (Generally, a very acceptable copy) . Considering Astaire, the most important male dancer of the 20th century, lived and for the most part worked for almost another thirty years, this autobiography might be considered an informal report on a work in progress. Scarce and desirable.
