Very good with tail of spine bumped and top corners lightly bumped, in a fine, mylar-covered dust jacket. "With vivid prose, critically acclaimed biographer Ian Kelly unlocks the glittering, turbulent world of late-eighteenth/early-nineteenth-century London-the first truly modern metropolis: venal, fashion-and-celebrity obsessed, self-centered and self-doubting-through the life of one of its greatest heroes and most tragic victims. Brummell personified London's West End, where a new style of masculinity and modern men's fashion were first defined."
