This super-rare Aalto document was published for an exhibition held in Paris in April 1973. It features an essay titled The Humanism of Alvar Aalto by Goran Schildt and a short biography by Francoise Choay. These are followed by a detailed timeline of his architectural projects, a bibliography, a timeline of his furniture designs with line drawings and a list providing information pertaining to the photographs and articles on display in the exhibition.

Payment and Postage
Paypal is accepted and I do not add a surcharge to cover their fees. UK buyers only may also pay by cheque or postal order. If it's a cheque, please allow 7 to 10 days for it to clear. In exceptional circumstances it may be possible for overseas customers to pay by another means, such as bank transfer, by prior arrangement.
All buyers please make contact within 3 days of auction. Payment is required within 7 days. If you can't see the postage price for your country please wait for me to send you a Paypal invoice.
Shipping prices are calculated at cost and include tracking and full insurance. In order to comply with eBay's buyer and seller protection programmes, tracking and full insurance are mandatory for items of value.
Non-payment
All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not done out of anger, or for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. Believe me it is hard enough to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder. If you have any doubts, please do ask before bidding.
Condition of items
Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique objects and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs.
Vintage electrical items
Unless clearly stated otherwise in the description, vintage electrical items are sold in their original condition so should always be safety checked by a qualified electrician before use.
Returns
Returns are possible, if reported within 7 days and by prior arrangement, if a mistake has been made in the listing and the item is not as described, but for no other reason.  <div style="text-align:center"><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://mostpopular.sellathon.com/?id=AC1138581"><img src="http://www.sellathon.com/Resources/Images/countercredit.gif" border="0"></a></div>
