Georgiana - Duchess Of Devonshire

Georgiana – Duchess of Devonshire (1999) by Amanda Foreman – Flamingo Edition
Offered by Crappy Old Books – because elegance and dog-eared can coexist.

Before the film, before the fashion icon revival, Amanda Foreman’s 1999 biography brought Georgiana Spencer back to glorious, powdered life. A political operator, gambler, socialite, and scandal magnet, the Duchess of Devonshire was basically an 18th-century tabloid headline in a corset. Foreman’s book is both richly researched and utterly readable — perfect for fans of aristocratic drama with a side of real historical grit.

Our copy? Let’s say Georgiana wouldn’t be seen dead with it in her salon — creases, scuffs, and a faint whiff of someone else’s bookshelf — but all the pages are present and correct.

Crappy Old Books – For readers who like their biographies brilliant and their books a bit battered.

Near new condition.
