Presents Bruce Weber's "Swede Dreams: Young Scandinavians In Their Skivvies". Vanity Fair Magazine's First Annual Underwear Portfolio. Featuring what many people who should know consider to be the most uninhibitedly beautiful and sexy people in the world, in their revealing underwear. Bruce Weber has compared them to the Brazilians, whose natural sensuality and incomparable beauty he captured in the sexiest photography book ever published, "O Rio de Janeiro". Lavishly illustrated with semi-nude and near-nude men and women, couples in passionate embrace, and other erotic images, taken by a Master of the nude. When she visited Sweden to make her two films, the late great writer Susan Sontag remarked that the beauty of the Swedish people was breathtaking. When asked who he thought were the most attractive Europeans, the late great Gore Vidal answered, "the Swedes". Bruce Weber joins the elite chorus line. For those who have everything else by BW, this is an absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Bruce Weber collectors. This Vanity Fair "Bruce Weber" Magazine Special is a great Issue. The Cover Photograph of Salma Hayek was the very last cover shoot of Herb Ritts before his premature demise. This is one of few copies of the Issue still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The few remaining copies available online have serious flaws because the magazine was pored over. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Bruce Weber's "O Rio De Janeiro", the sexiest photography book ever published, was selected as one of the "Seminal Photography Books of the 20th Century" in the "Book of 101 Books". One of the finest photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BRUCE WEBER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
