Karl Bissinger (1914–2008)

I know and love Karl Bissinger (still with us at 92!). I have not lived through the '40s and '50s, nor am I impressed with many of the 'celebrities' of those days. Still, this small volume has exquisite photos of many authors, artists, and influential people. Some of the photos should be interesting and inspiring even for those who do not know or care for the 'subjects'. Last 7 pages give info about the people in the photographs.
Introduction by Gore Vidal, photographed by Karl in 1949.
