LAREDO, Joseph F., with photos from the collection of Donald Chang — DORIS DAY 1947-1950

pp. 89. Large 4to. Replete with colour and black and white photographs. Boards rubbed, top corners of boards bumped, front hinge cracked with mull exposed (binding sound), previous owners' name in ink to fep and initials to rep, corner of ffep torn, otherwise contents are clean and bright; good+. For the Doris Day fan, this is a must-have. A paean to the great singer Doris Day, covering her most productive period (as a big band singer and recording artist). Obviously a work of love (the author refers to his subject as 'Miss Day'), with many photos from studio stills. This book was meant to accompany several CDs of 'Miss Day's' music (which are not included). No publisher stated, but the book was printed in Germany (text in English, of course) and the copyright is claimed by Bear Family Records. colour photographs
