Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. pp. xi, 207. Royal 8vo. Publisher's navy-blue boards, white lettering to the spine. Rich with many black-and-white photographs, portraits, illustrations, facsimiles, et al. Very light bump to the spine ends, contents without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages, and firm, sound binding; near fine and housed in very good+, unclipped, dustjacket. The text for this book arose from materials the author collected while making a television biography of Yehudi Menuhin. Of course, what a book cannot include is the sound of Yehudi playing, without which it might be argued no biography of Menuhin is complete. It was first transmitted on Channel Four Television in Britain, to celebrate Yehudi's seventy-fifth birthday. What follows, therefore, is not biography in the strictest sense, although it gives the illusion of chronology, and all its facts, as far as I can ascertain, are correct. Rather, it is an impression of the man and his artistry through the words - principally - of his family, living or dead.
