Nijinsky

by Richard Buckle

London: Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1972

Octavo, hardback with orange cloth boards, dustjacket, 482pp, illustrated with 22 line drawings and 48 pages of photographs.

"A lifelong devotion to the world of ballet makes Richard Buckle uniquely qualified to write Nijinsky's biography; and this book, in which he has drawn on personal conversations with countless people who knew and worked with Nijinsky, and for which he has spent many years of painstaking research, reinterpreting Nijinsky's diaries and his wife's biography, will unquestionably become the standard life of the dancer." [from the jacket].

Condition is Fair/Good, though the dustjacket is a little tired with a few small open tears to the edges. The top edge is dusty and the text block is slightly marked. Internally covers are tidy with very slight marking. Text and photos are clean, tidy and unmarked. Overall a nice, sound reading copy which is a little tired.
