DESCRIPTION:
Gaston Musella said More Mick Rock, More Bowie, More Joy all around. So glad I purchased this, among so many other Mick Rock Titles on my bookshelf, including several authographed copies from Bowienet, but as you get more and more Bowie photos, you just want more and more. This is a gloriously printed book, and some of the photos have appeared before, but many have not and those are priceless. The cover is More Mick Rock, More Bowie, More Joy all around Gaston Musella So glad I purchased this, among so many other Mick Rock Titles on my bookshelf, including several authographed copies from Bowienet, but as you get more and more Bowie photos, you just want more and more. This is a gloriously printed book, and some of the photos have appeared before, but many have not and those are priceless. The cover is 4 photos, done as an animation print, using lenticular paper and is worth the price of the book, but there's lots of beautiful shots in here printed without peer. Just stunning.. photos, done as an animation print, using lenticular paper and is worth the price of the book, but there's lots of beautiful shots in here printed without peer. Just stunning.. Beautiful Bowie This is a gorgeous collection of photographs of one of the most charismatic and fascinating musicians that has ever lived - during one of the most fascinating periods of his career. What's not to love? Several folks have noted the stunning cover - I have one (maybe strange?) beef with that cover - I wish they hadn't photoshopped his original teeth. That sharp-edged set of chompers gave Bowie's ethereal beauty a feral edge. Damn, I loved those teeth, and the perfect pearly whites on this cover (in all but one of the superimposed images) just don't have the same charm. I know I'm no. Great Pictoral Chronical of a Legend Mark in Los Angeles After decades of seeing Bowie in dandy suits, it's easy to forget out utterly OUT THERE he was in the early 70s. This book will leave you in no doubt of his roots and his leading edge performance spectacles. Gritty and yet somewhat Alien, he pushed boundaries that 40 years later few dare to emulate, with far fewer succeeding. Highly recommended, especially if you can get it at the showstopper price of around twenty bucks, which is a fraction of what you'd pay walking into a Taschen store, today, to purchase the same thing.
