Seller's Description:
John Bigelow Taylor (Photography) Very good in Good jacket. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 10 inches. 176 pages. Illustrations (most in color). Introduction by David Revere McFadden, Chief Curator, Museum of Arts and Design. Pindex. DJ has some wear, soiling, and edge tear at top of spine. Price clipped. Inscribed and dated by author on half-title page. This book was published in conjunction with the exhibition "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collections" organized by the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. After being shown at the Museum, this exhibition toured selected venues in the United States and around the world. Madeleine Jana Korbel Albright (born Marie Jana Korbelová; May 15, 1937) is an American politician and diplomat. She is the first female United States Secretary of State in U.S. history, having served from 1997 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. Part illustrated memoir, part social history, "Read My Pins" provides an intimate look at Albright's life through the brooches she wore. Her collection is both international and democratic--dime-store pins share pride of place with designer creations and family heirlooms. Included are the antique eagle purchased to celebrate Albright's appointment as secretary of state, the zebra pin she wore when meeting Nelson Mandela, and the Valentine's Day heart forged by Albright's five-year-old daughter. "Read My Pins" features more than 200 photographs, along with compelling and often humorous stories about jewelry, global politics, and the life of one of America's most accomplished and fascinating diplomats.

More than a coffee table book
Pictures of the jewelery that Mrs. Albright wore during her service as Secretary of State are points of reference to some of her experiences. An interesting easy read.
