This book was bought on a whim, it has some excellent pictures, some are well known and some not so, but an excellent book to put on the coffee table and dip into.

Nice Photos, but it could be better
29 April 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
'A Life in Pictures' is a bit misleading as the title. Yes, there are several photos spanning McQueen's acting career, but it is hardly comprehensive. For every rare photo (or color version), there is a familiar one (some published a few years ago in the excellent book of McQueen photos by William Claxton). For some reason, the photos are not in chronological order which can be a bit jarring when jumping from the family pictures of McQueen from the 1960s to the longer haired McQueen of the 1970s. This book is filled with quality photos of Steve McQueen. Most are large, and several are in color. This is a book for someone who is a devoted fan or just wants nice pictures of McQueen in one book.

A McQueen Fan Must
8 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great rare pictures and insight into the personal life of McQueen. Family photos show another side of the so-called Hollywood wild bad-boy. Neile and his children were his legacy. Nice to see the intimate side of one of the great actors and screen legends of all time. Super photography and some of the most handsome pictures of the star. Totally a keeper; shared it with my Father, one of McQueen's most dedicated fans of all time.
