2.25x9 3/8x12.75" tall cloth-covered cardboard slip case has Olivia name stamped on each side. Slip case contains two hardcover books, each 9.25x12.25" with slick paper pages and color dust wrappers. First book is titled “Let Them Eat Cheesecake” ©1993, second book is titled “Second Slice” ©1997. Each is Special Edition published by Ozone Productions, Ltd. Each includes text: "This Slip Case Set Contains Two Books Printed On 170GSM. Paper, And Is Limited To 500 Sets, Signed And Numbered By The Artist". Also included is a portfolio containing limited edition prints, signed and numbered by Olivia. Fabric-covered 9.25x12.25" cardboard portfolio has Olivia name stamped on front and contains three different prints, each 8.5x11.5" on high quality textured stiff paper with different paintings of Bettie Page. Books each have special page with female cat boldly signed in gold ink in center “Olivia” and each is signed at bottom in black ink with purple signature “To Alexander-Love, Bettie Page”. Prints are each signed in pencil “Olivia HC1 to Alex, A Long and Happy Life” and also boldly signed in pencil by Bettie Page. All items are N.Mint. We know of no other set like this which has also been signed by Bettie Page, nor do we know of any Bettie Page items that are actually inscribed to someone personally like the two books here. High quality and choice graphics throughout. A wonderful group for any pinup or Bettie Page collector. Comes with Hake's COA.
