Customer Reviews

giant in every sense of the word
I'll try keep this short.This book is an absolute dream.Its the first Autobiograpy I've read(or started to read) that has engulfed all my senses.I saw this advertised in a magazine and thought why not.It arrived and alone the size of the packet was an indication of what to expect.The book is giant in every sense of the word.It contains many examples of Warhols works including many that most of us are completely unaware of.Its orgainsed and written like a film documentary in Hard Copy.Many people might try to pidgeon hole it in the so called "coffee table" category but its much more than this.If you do want a very special coffee table book on Warhol then this is the one for you.If you want a good read on Warhol then this is also for you.The only disadvantage is that if you want to read it in bed its a bit too heavy"Giant".

It measures 17" x 13" x 2.25" and weighs over 4 pounds.Its not one to have on your lap for any length of time.

Heavyweight overview of Andy Warhol
King sized visual bio weighs a ton but is worth crushing your lap to read, with vast array of images and photos covering Andy Warhol's life. 2,000 images, lots of lovely of lovely ephemera. Highly recommended.
