Fleur Cowles' inventive and influential Flair magazine was sadly short-lived. Only twelve issues were released and this Annual was published by Cowles a year after its closure. The Annual's aim was to continue the artistic creativity of the magazine but to create something more permanent, 'bound between enduring boards'. The volume is divided into sections, listed as 'Flair for… Communication, Sentiment, Travel, Americana, Art and Winter'. Subjects include 'Insulting Valentines', 'The Artist's Wife', 'The Decline of the English Coutnry House', 'Walker Evans at Santa Monica', 'They Said it with Fireworks', 'A Degas Sketchbook' and 'Rudolf Bing and the Met'. The book was designed by Federico Pallavicini. Cowles writes in her editor's note that 'It will be a source of tremendous pride to me to see the FLAIR Annual so well received and welcomed that I may make it a yearly publishing effort. Sadly this was not to be, making this Annual and the twelve magazine issues the sole Flair output.

Great content, breaks easily
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
It's very entertaining for the baby, she loves it. It has lots of different textures, shapes and colors. The only drawback is that it breaks easily at the seams. Ours only lasted a few days before the pages started coming off from the cover

Really great book for starting story time babies
Format: Board book
6 mos old LOVES this book. Loves touching the pages, looking at the other babies. Big-gish sized book, with vivid images. This is a thick board book, that should hold up very well to babies who might want to add gnawing to their story time.
