Format:Hardcover
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.

This is an amazing value for money book. It chronicles warhols life from birth to his death in a concise bibliographical context. There is a mass of colour photographs on each page. One need not purchase other books about his work, this has everything. Highly recommended for proffessionals and students alike.

If you are looking for a big Warhol book get this one. It is large format, and crammed full of photos and artwork.

A great "centerpiece" in your bookshelf.

Giant same book as the previous one but this time in a better size
Since I saw the original GIANT book I really wanted to have it, but the size which is about A3 maybe even bigger and the high price 60 pound kept me from getting it. Read more
