Book Reviews of Grey Gardens
Book Review: ABsolutely terrific!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a total joy. It has over 200 pages of images we've never seen and it totally captures the feeling of both Grey Gardens documentaries. There is SO MUCH STUFF included in this! There are all kinds of quotes we have never heard before, lots and lots of great conversation transcripts and a transcript of the film! A true gem, is the accompanying CD (with high quality sound!) of audio, all previously unheard! The things on this CD are absolutely priceless! At one point Mrs. Beale is singing a song dramatically and in between every pause, you can hear Little Edie calling out "Whiskers!? Whiskers?" We are also treated to the Beale's live (audio) reaction to watching the film for the first time! They apparently adored it 'like mad'! Little Edie laughs nervously at first. In the book, you will see a notation where Edie declares the film will win "Nine awards. You saw 'Gigi'? It gone nine."
The layout of this book is in a scrap book fashion with lots of original artwork from the daughters of the Maysles. One gets the feeling from this book, that it was created out of true appreciation for the Beale ladies with no self-centered agenda. This was clearly put together with the fans in mind and they definitely deliver. The Maysles daughters had access to treasures no one else could.
I would highly recommend this for every single Grey Gardens fan out there. It will be a great addition to your collection.
Book Review: Beautifully designed

This book is a work of art in its own right. Incorporating beautiful paintings and collages with photos and texts, it is the most creative layout of archival materials that I have ever seen! Gorgeous imagery in a unique but coherent arrangement. A really beautiful book.Book Review: Excellent
