Description: This Rizzoli book features the estate of Doris Duke in Honolulu, and she really knew how to live! in 1938 at the age of 23, she bought the home for 1.4 M which was a huge sum during the depression. She apparently was drawn to Islamic Art during her world travels. The home is also a Museum of Islamic Art, and Doris Duke left an endowment, so that this home will be a Museum for many years to come!! There are many examples in the book of rugs, paintings, jewelry, etc. from her collection!! The home has a gorgeous pool area, and seen in the background is the Honolulu surf, and the mountains of Diamond Head! BOOK IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH MINIMAL WEAR TO THE DUST JACKET AND BOARDS. VERY TIGHT BINDING. Rizzoli offers it's usual high standards with heavy paper, and excellent color reproduction!! I ALWAYS secure any Book or any other item in a BOX, stuffed to the MAX with Bubble Wrap! There can never be too much Bubble Wrap. I wrap AROUND and AROUND to hopefully ensure it reaches you in the exact CONDITION it left me in! I'm sure you would wish to receive this QUICKLY, so to make sure that happens I provide FREE PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING! Speaking of Hawaii, last fall I sent 2 books separately from NYC/BRONX to Honolulu, using Priority Mail, and they both arrived in ONLY 3 DAYS!! I've been fortunate in my life, give or a take a few bumps and bruises along the way. I wanted to honor 2 worthy Charities by giving them part of the proceeds when I sell something. Every sale benefits myself and these 2 Charities: DREAM, here in NYC, (formerly known as Harlem RBI) and SHEPHERD'S TABLE, which is just outside DC, in Silver Spring, Maryland. In the early 2000s I lived in Silver Spring, and Volunteered for the TABLE, for about 3 years. It was a wonderful Experience that I will never forget. Both these charities do so much good in their communities, so I donate to each of them as often as possible. MB SILVER
