Same here. I own one of the 300 32 page booklets issued to the celebrities invited to the Gala Dedication Ceremony of the Chrysler Building May 26,1930, the day before it was opened to the public. It’s still in mint condition. It has a black felt/velveteen cover with a beautiful embossed silver image of the Chrysler Building on the cover.
The Chrysler Booklet is the one black one in the bunch.
It’s contents are a brief history of the building’s conception, design, construction, and selected black and white photographs of specific Art Deco design elements.
The presentation booklet is personalized to the celebrity it was presented to on arrival at the Gala. . . I don’t recall the name on mine except my research showed me he was a New York newspaper publisher that no one would recognize today, including the newspaper.
I bought my booklet at an ephemera document auction three years ago or so. I have it on display with a Department 56 lighted scale model of the Chrysler Building in a glass case with some other Chrysler Building memorabilia in our entry way.
Several years ago, a survey of architects asking them to list their ten favorite buildings in the world in order of preference, the Chrysler Building was the hands-down-winner with it being listed as the number one favorite on 90% of the responses.
