For your consideration is a beautiful 1932 first trade edition of "George Gershwin's Song-book," published by Simon and Schuster. This impressive large-format volume (approx. 13" x 10") is a cornerstone of American musical history, featuring 18 of Gershwins most iconic compositions, including "I Got Rhythm," "The Man I Love," and "Swanee."
This edition is celebrated for its vibrant, full-page color illustrations by Constantin Alajalov, which perfectly capture the Art Deco spirit of the Jazz Age. The book includes a portrait of Gershwin by Maurice Goldberg and a detailed introduction by the composer himself.
Condition: This copy shows honest age. The tan cloth boards feature the original blue stamped lettering with some shelf wear and light toning. The interior remains bright with a charming 1932 gift inscription on the flyleaf. The binding is secure. A wonderful piece for collectors of musicology, Art Deco illustration, or Great American Songbook memorabilia.
