5.0 out of 5 stars this book is guaranteed entertainment, 22 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The House of Gucci (Hardcover)
even if you don't care about fashion or even if business bores you, you will enjoy this book. there's plenty of action, intrigue and even murder as three generations of guccis battle over their company. the writing is always clear and well paced . the research is all well documented. whether your preference in book vears more towards fiction or towards history, you won't be ableto put this book down .

4.0 out of 5 stars Italian intrigue with the family history of high fashion, 14 Jan 2006
As a fine read this works well. It also serves splendid insights into the family and motives behind a huge fashion empire. As a blueprint for success the candour and research give valuable hints of the twists and turns the Gucci empire took to reach its prominence today.
