Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter's Eyes by Deana Martin

This is a hardcover biographical book written by Deana Martin with Wendy Holden, featuring a foreword by Jerry Lewis. The front cover displays a large, full-color close-up photograph of Dean Martin, exhibiting his characteristic charming smile. The title 'Memories Are Made of This' is printed in white cursive-style script, while 'DEAN MARTIN' is prominently displayed in gold serif lettering. The dust jacket shows visible signs of wear, particularly along the edges and corners with several small chips and creases at the top and bottom. There is notable scuffing and minor surface scratches on the black background of the cover, along with some slight discoloration or dust accumulation indicative of shelf age. The binding appears intact but shows slight compression at the spine ends. Published circa 2004, this first-edition-style book serves as a personal memoir of the legendary entertainer's life. The printing quality is standard for commercial hardcovers of the early 21st century, utilizing a glossy finish for the dust jacket and standard offset printing for the high-contrast cover image. No internal pages are visible, but the external condition suggests a well-read copy.
