Table Books on Black Book
Books, books, book recommendations from a fellow bingo player on Black Book Bingo sponsored by B2KBINGO
Elvis at 21: New York to Memphis by Alfred Wertheimer
This stunning volume is devoted to the author's work documenting the early days of Presley's fame. Some of the shots are familiar -- Presley necking with a girl in a hotel corridor -- but there are lots of unfamiliar poses of Presley.
Gucci by Gucci by Sarah Mower
This marks the 85th anniversary of the fabled design house. The book is a luxurious, massive grab bag of old fashion ads, runway shots and gorgeous men and women in various stages of dress and undress. It includes last year's Oscars, with George Clooney in his Gucci tux.
Edie: Girl on Fire by David Weisman and Melissa Painter
This fascinating volume documents the short life of Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol ''It'' girl. She was beautiful and surprisingly intelligent, and if the accompanying CD audio interview is any indication, she was also usually stoned.
The Art of Bond: From Storyboard to Screen: The Creative Process Behind the James Bond Phenomenon by Laurent Bouzereau
This evocative collection of nostalgic art from the James Bond films is accompanied by fascinating interviews with the actors and crew -- except Sean Connery, who can really hold a grudge -- from Dr. No to the new Casino Royale, all expertly compiled.
The Jazz Image: Masters of Jazz Photography by Lee Tanner/Nat Hentoff
This black and white visual anthology chronicles musicians, from Satchmo to Bill Evans and Miles Davis, with an emphasis on the 1950s-1970s. Photographers include William Claxton, Gjon Mili and Dennis Stock. You can practically taste the cigarette smoke.
