[Some wonderful items of ephemera inside all relating to bullfighting in the 1950s. The front endpaper has some newspaper cuttings and rare photographs of Bullfighting from Madrid in 1953, stuck down. The next two blank pages have a Flyer and tickets for the Plaza des Toros in Madrid in the same year. With two additions to the subsequent pages. From the title page onwards all is clear. Also laid in is a folded poster for a bullfight in Palma, Mallorca in 1956. These items are wonderful to see, fit perfectly with the contents of the book and have some collectable value in themselves].
