Book Reviews of Peter Beard (2 Volume Set)
Book Review: A Rich, Incredible Book full of an Incredible Life!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly impressive book filled with incredible texture and examples of Peter Beard's prolific handmade books and journals. It's very inspiring to artists and writers, and the reproductions are excellent. It is an amazing value for the money. It arrived in perfect condition, two volumes tucked into a rich blue cloth slipcase. It looks like it should cost over $100 dollars.
Frankly, it is actually exhausting to page through the book, so filled with detail, life, surprises and glimpses of the many celebrity guests that spent time with Peter (Rolling Stones, Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, various supermodels) that it's best to take it in small doses and treat each visit as a little treat!
I highly recommend this book as an amazing gift-- or better yet, keep it for yourself!
Biggest lesson: fling yourself out there and lead the most incredible life possible.
