B. Nethercutt and Dorothy Nethercutt to Ed D’Arcy on front end paper.  Remainder of interior clean and unmarked.  Fore-edge page block a bit wavy, but no water or moisture marks have been seen; slight fragrance.  ‘The Sounds of San Sylmar’ record in pocket at rear along with sound guide.  Also laid in is a Jan. 15, 1985 National Enquirer newspaper article concerning Nethercutt selling and re-buying a 1936 Duesenberg convertible.  Very heavy book.  ‘It is a collection of functional fine art, restored to perfect operating condition, and displayed in a warm, colorful, exotic treasure house.  … Classic cars came first, … and the mascots, or hood ornaments, followed naturally.  The large collection of automatic musical instruments began with a very beautiful small musical jewel box …  The couple became fascinated with automatic musical instruments, and their collection ranges from tiny musical watches to some of the largest orchestrations ever manufactured.’ (from Preface)
