ABOUT THE AUTHORS
JEAN-CLAUDE BAKER was born in Dijon, France. At fourteen, while working as a bellhop in Paris, he met Josephine Baker. Mr. Baker first came to the United States on Josephine Baker’s final American tour in 1973. Her bold inspiration led him to pursue a remarkably colorful and successful career that has included being a nightclub owner, television producer, and restaurateur. He lives in New York City.
CHRIS CHASE, an actress and television anchor as well as an author, lives in New York City.
ABOUT THE TYPE
This book was set in Galliard, a typeface designed by Matthew Carter for the Mergenthaler Linotype Company in 1978. Galliard is based on the sixte
enth-century typefaces of Robert Granjon, which give it classic lines yet interject a contemporary look.
