Rashid Darden said A must-buy for everyone looking for closure and inspiration. I thought I was getting just a photography book. But really what I got was a photo book and wonderful essays which unlocked the symbolism of Bowie's artistic projects from the 70s to Blackstar. Not exaggerating -- the opening essay was perfect, moving, and very helpful in decoding Blackstar and Lazarus.. Essential David Bowie Keepsake This book is beautifully bound with thick sturdy pages filled with AMAZING shots of David Bowie in the 70s.

Something I can pull out and remini

This photobook features never-before seen images of Bowie at his most creative and self-inspired. Bowie’s real feelings emerged in his 1975 hit 'Fame' (penned with John Lennon), which charted at #1 while elucidating the vapidity of stardom." —American Photo "The fruit of that day’s collaboration between Bowie and Schapiro would provide some of the most iconic album art and magazine shoots produced that decade, including art for the albums Station to Station and Low. Below we catch up with the photographer as his book of mostly never-before-seen photographs of the late polymath and icon are published in Bowie." —Dazed Digital"By 1974 David Bowie had shed the skin of Ziggy Stardust and launched himself further into cosmic androgyny with a new character, Aladdin Sane. Bowie's unmatchable charisma soon outpaces the sadness, however, and within the pages, Schapiro has captured q
