The recipient of this book was John Miller, with whom Gielgud had collaborated in 1978 on a series of conversations about his career made for BBC Radio 4. They worked together again in 1988 for An Actor’s Life, a TV profile of Gielgud, which in turn led to the commission of this book.

An excellent copy, with an association to match.
