IN HEBREW. RARE richly illustrated monograph on 250 residents of Jerusalem in 1946, all of them the cream of Jerusalem society and telephone owners, which in these times was a luxury that only few could afford. After four years of research, the author presents many accounts of espionage and murder, political and personal betrayals, spendthrifts and misers, impossible love affairs, collected from thousands of documents and interviews. Over 700 color and b&w photographs. 270x210mm. 392 pages. Illustrated Softcover. Cover wrinkled (mainly corners and edges). Few pages slightly dog-eared. Spine edges bumped. [SUMMARY]: This special vastly illustrated limited edition of a fascinating documentary research on hundreds of eminent Jerusalemites at the end of British-mandate era is otherwise in good condition.
