Definitely worth the look

This book is really stunning and I don't think I've ever seen anything like that! It isn't quite photography, it isn't quite drawing, it isn't painting....It's something completely new: I guess this was made with a computer but the result is impressive.

W-O-W !

This controversial book is a gem: you'll rediscover the people that made the 20th century in a way you never expected to see them! The illustrations by Guy Peellaert ar truly fabulous and the texts by english writer Nik Cohn match perfectly with them. A must-have!

The book on the century is the book of the century!

From Marlon Brando to Courtney Love and Madonna, from Marilyn to Hitler and Diana....Every personality is represented in a most surprising way! The book everyone is talking about is definitely worth the hype!You have to at least see it!

Soooo brilliant
