Reviews
"It is gorgeous and delicious. It is truly a feast for the eyes and all the senses. The printer created art from our art. Beautiful!" - Janet Macoska
"I'm proud to be part of this amazing collection of images on the iconic David Bowie, which are so beautifully reproduced in a book that honors his artistry." - Lynn Goldsmith
"The book is amazing - a lot of images I've never seen." - John Scarisbrick
"A must-have for all Bowie fans." - Departures International
"You couldn't take a bad picture of him," [photographer Mick] Rock tells The Daily Beast. "I defy you to look through the book and find a picture you could call 'bad.' There aren't any. He just had an awareness. It was evident early on - he understood the power of the picture." - The Daily Beast
"The most beautiful photographs of the star in a single and beautiful book... a rich and splendid compilation..." - Beware Magazine
"Impressive... a splendid collection." - Velvet Goldmine
"Arguably the first musical artist to constantly reinvent himself through revising his image, Bowie proved to be as much a visual icon of the 70s, 80s and 90s as he was a musical innovator. Now, all that glam has been captured in a spectacular book." - Chris Jenkins, Arts & Collections magazine
