Description: This is a stunning and complete example of the 1955 book "The World We Live In". The book is 14" tall and 10.5" wide, weighing just under 5 pounds. It is enthralling from cover to cover. Nearly all 306 pages contain breathtaking photographs, paintings, and other illustrations. The book features many beautiful fold out illustrations, and is packed with information. Looking through this book makes me feel like a curious child again. The book has a few small imperfections, but overall the condition is very good. There are no torn or bent pages, and the slip cover is included. Somebody treasured and cared for this book. "The World We Live In" series appeared in LIFE at intervals of approximately 2 months from December 1952 to December 1954. It consisted of 13 parts. Each one was researched by one who devoted an average of 8 months to the job of gathering, evaluating, organizing data for the piece. This included supplying the art director and artists with material for paintings and working with photographers in the field. The book is basically a compilation of the 13 part series. This would be a great book for the coffee table. It's sure to be a topic of conversation. Both adults and children alike will be drawn to its beautiful pages. Thanks for having a look at my listing. I certainly appreciate your time. Please reach out if you have any questions or feedback. I will respond as promptly as possible.
