... location. If you'd been there, you probably could have taken a collection of photographs of at least equal caliber. What matters in these photos is who is in them, with little apparent attention to the construction of the shots.

So if you'd like to see mediocre photographs but of extraordinary 2nd Factory regulars at that Factory as well as Max's Kansas City and Central Park, this may be your book. It may beat looking at nothing, they may bring you back to a special time.

The value for me lies in a 13 page interview with Billy Name. If you are trying to understand the mysteries of Warhol and his Factories, Billy Name would be a great source of information. Think silver.

You can also (September 2005) see Billy Name photos, mostly black and white, at his web site. He also has some interviews there he was the subject of.

The interview w/Billy is great, the pix capture the air of the crowd and the essence of their era...but i wasn't satisfied; it captured the Factory kids but not the factory itself. And the info therein was relatively limited.

i feel this book is meant for appreciation and sheer sight-enjoyment, something to be left as an exclamation rather than an explanation.

a surprisingly refreshing view of the warhol sixties. shots of lou reed and the velvet underground very initmate. name was really decades ahead of current popular art photographers with his brilliant surrealistic color and funky format!

Billy Name has released most likely the most important pictures from the famous Andy Warhol Factory. In ALL TOMMOROW'S PARTIES, Billy captures the true depths of the list of characters in the Warholian 1960s. Shot in brilliant color we get to see what the people really looked like and see that they were not all star's but real people with hearts. This book is a must for any Warhol fan, photographer, or someone with an interest in the 60s.

This misleading title is yet another book to cash in on the Warhol era. The title states "Photographs of Andy Warhol's Factory" when actually maybe half of the photos are of the 2nd factory and the rest are pictures of factory people hanging out at Max's Kansas City, or going to some guys wedding! Who cares! If you expecting to see "The real Factory" and factory culture then forget this book.
