In every case there is the story of a cherished gift, and the text sparkles with anecdotes - romantic, touching, and funny in turn. How could it not, with a cast of characters that includes - to make a random selection - Twiggy and Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Jackie Stewart and Herbert von Karajan, Pope John Paul II and Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida and Shimon Peres, Audrey Hepburn and Marcel Marceau, Anthony Quinn and Giorgio Armani. These are only a fraction of the talented and titled, the brilliant and successful gift givers who fill the pages of The Art Of Giving with romance and sentiment - and history. The author of this book has discovered what should have been obvious: that people's tenderest, most intimate, and most glamorous memories are tied up with gifts that they have given and received." The book includes 235 photographs, including 186 plates in full color. "The Art Of Giving" by Stuart E. Jacobson, Text by Drusilla Beyfus, Photography by Steve Lovi, and Design by John Lynch...
