"A Wonderful Time captures magnificently the life of America's elite from coast to coast, in Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Acapulco. Drawing from thousands of pictures taken since World War II on assignments for Holiday, Town & Country, Harper's Bazaar, Life, Vogue, Travel & Leisure, and other publications, Slim Aaron has put together the best of them - many never before published - with a narrative of his experiences and impressions while photographing American aristocrats on their estates and at play at their favorite resorts...having a wonderful time." The vanished world of A Wonderful Time includes The Myopia Hunt Club, Sugarbush, Snowmass, La Jolla, Nassau, The Exumas, The Bath and Tennis Club, Aspen, Hobe Sound, Montego Bay, and The Waldorf-Astoria - the usual hangouts for old money seeking rest and recreation away from the rest of us as if they were the best of us; the best people at their best, living well and getting the best revenge. This first edition is a highly collectible book from the good old days. It is inscribed by the author. See the top of listing for flaws in the book.
