An anthology of the finest photographs taken by Richard Avedon in his career up to 1977, inscribed by the photographer. The subjects of his images read like a Who's Who of the fashion and entertainment world - Lauren Bacall, Brigitte Bardot, Cecil Beaton, Marisa Berenson, Marlene Dietrich, Givenchy, Audrey Hepburn, Bianca Jagger, Loulou de La Falaise, Sophie Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Shrimpton and Gloria Vanderbilt. These portraits are interspersed with his fashion photographs. The cover features Marella Agnelli to the front and 'Dovima with Elephants' to the rear. The book accompanied a retrospective exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In January 1995, Veronica DeGruyter Beracasa de Uribe Hearst gave an intimate lunch for Diana, Princess of Wales, in her opulent apartment on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 66th Street. The Princess was in New York to give an award to the then editor of Harper's Bazaar magazine and fellow Englishwoman, Liz Tilberis. Tilberis had asked Veronica, a clotheshorse with a love of couture, to host the lunch. Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld was there, along with photographer Patrick Demarchelier. So too was the Princess's great friend Lucia Flecha de Lima, the wife of the Brazilian ambassador to the U.S.— and also Patti Hearst, Veronica's famous hostage-turned-urban-guerrilla-turned-housewife stepdaughter. So, of course, was Veronica's husband, Randolph Apperson Hearst, Tilberis's ultimate boss as chairman of the Hearst Corporation, which owns Harper's Bazaar and other magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Town & Country, and Esquire. Randy, as he was known, was the last surviving son of the American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst.

Amazing Halo Graphic Novel

Arrived in new condition and super fast, definitely recommend buying, I just finished reading all the stories; the gallery in the end is a must see and the messages that every author left before and after their stories is a plus.

Format: Paperback
this book is kinda mediocre. the first story was amazing. great art, great story, and great dialogue. very cool perspective on what seems like the covenants first encounter with the flood. the dialogue-less one about sgt johnson surviving in a flood infested area was pretty good too. the armor testing story wasn’t bad but kinda felt like a waste of time. and the last one had such terrible art i couldn’t even read it. but i also enjoyed reading the “behind the scenes” author’s notes before and after each story.

So bad it’s hard to believe
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I bought this to see the story about the half-jaw white elite, one of my favorite characters. In that regard it was fantastic. That story and its art are epic. The next two stories were HORRENDOUS. The middle two stories truly look like they were drawn by talented 8th graders. The dialogue is cringe for the second story and the third story is wordless. There are also resolution issues throughout. Pictures don’t really get across just how UGLY the middle two stories are. The fourth and last story looks like an actual professional artist did it, but I’m too traumatized to try to read it. The foreword is insufferable and irrelevant and the end of the book is filled with fan art that is not quite charming in a book I paid money for.

Worth the Money
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Love this book and I’m happy I bought it new. It came in perfect condition. It’s so nicely put together with high quality images of the main game, even the three DLC games. I like reading the huge list of dialog that the characters have. I learned things about the game I never knew. Ex,the ice goddess and the fire god having a relationship. It even goes into detail about Comrades. The art from the competition Illustrations. It’s my favorite page. I hope other people learn a few things from it like I did. It’s great for a collector and such a pretty book. Worth it! Buy it. Would buy this again!

Great book for FFXV
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book after completing the game and honestly, it is so informative on stuff that weren't mentioned in the game. I loved learning more about the characters and their backstory and all the concept art.
