In the winter of 1952-3 and for six weeks in 1954 Beaton completed two lecture tours of America, combating his nerves and delivering his speech to a string of Ladies’ Clubs across the continent. It Gives Me Great Pleasure is an account of his adventures on these tours. The book is as much about discovering the people and places of America as it is about the lecture tour itself. Beaton visited many cities, including Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Grand Rapids, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans, Florida, Boston and Montreal in Canada. Each destination had a different hotel, a different audience, a different culture and a different taxi driver. Through his anecdotes and stories Beaton explores the individuality of the different States and revels in the vastness of the America experience

First edition, first printing. Inscribed presentation copy. With two autograph letters signed on Beaton's Reddish House stationary. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. With the bookplate of Mary Anna Marten to the front free endpaper. An excellent near fine copy, with a family Christmas gift inscription to the front pastedown. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked price-clipped dustwrapper.

Inscribed by Cecil Beaton in black ink on the title page “For Mary Anna - With Love from Mrs. Charles B. Emery and Cecil Beaton”. Tipped in to the rear endpapers are two autograph letters from the author to Mary Anna Marten.

Rare 'association' copy replete with the 'Crichel House' bookplate of Mary Anna Marten, OBE (1929-2010) god-daughter to The Queen Mother and sister to Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster.

Her son, Napier was a page at the coronation of Elizabeth II.

Perfect for a Big Family – Kids Loved It!
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
We got this Frito-Lay Fun Times Mix Variety Pack for our 7 kids, and they absolutely loved it! The box is huge and has a great variety of chips, so there’s something for everyone. Perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or family gatherings. The quality is just what you expect from Frito-Lay, and with 7 kids, it lasted a good while (not very long, honestly 😄). We would definitely buy this again—a fun and convenient way to keep all the kids happy!

Great for the office
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
These were a great option for the office break room! At the time I got them, they were a great value and the selection is high quality name brand snacks with good taste. It’s nice to have all the different options in one box instead of having to buy multiple products.

Sometimes stale but you get a nice amount.
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I would love to give this a five-star rating, but I've ordered these a couple of times and have gotten one that have been stale. I stopped or ordering them but now I'm going to give them another try because I loved the quantity. I will give you guys a update when I receive the package.
