Marvelous! Just marvelous! If you are a fan of Andy - buy this book! I have not figured out how to read it on my lap yet...it is GIANT - just like the publishers promised...I mean HUGE!
But worth every penny! A beautiful compilation of Andy's quirks, life, salesmanship and art!

Definitely worth the money!

I've recently got into andy warhol and this is the second book i have by him. The book has stunning portraits/photographs/art thats what i love about andy warhol everything is unique and different.I wasn't sure what to expect with this book however i'm glad that I purchased it.

Its so big that its hard to read (definitely can't read it in bed) but what a fantastic book on Andy Warhol's life and art. The size lends itself to the great reproductions of his art work. I was also really excited about the numerous photographs of Warhol and his world. There is a full page black and white photo of Warhol behind the movie camera that I thought was particularly good. Very highly recommended.

Bigger is better -- especially when it comes to Warhol. If you've ever hesitated about buying this huge book, don't! It's the next best thing to owning an original piece by Warhol to have images so big and presented so artfully. I've been a fan of Warhol since 1971 and this book brings the whole pop art experience to life. Play the Velvet Underground & Nico album while you read this great book and it will all make sense.

Seriously. I own just about every coffee table book there is about Warhol, the Factory, and his Superstars and none of them, and I mean NONE of them, compare to Giant Size.

Giant Size is a chronological visual biography that not only gives a greater insight to Warhol's life but also includes never before seen photos, correspondence, film stills, and artworks all in one GIANT SIZE close to 800 page book. You even get to see the actual source material for many of Warhol's famous screen print paintings, entire series of paintings hardly ever touched upon in other books (like his photo booth series) and a really comprehensive overview of his films.

Starting from his birth and ending at his death, you feel like a close personal friend flipping through an intimate photo album as you journey through Andy's wild, celebrity filled life.

This book is MUST HAVE for any Warhol fan.

If you only buy one book on Warhol, GIANT SIZE is it.

Also, try to suss this out at a book store. I found a brand new copy still sealed in plastic for less than 55 clams.

This is an amazing overview of Andy Warhol's life and art. He is such an icon of the 20th century. His art was so progessive and way ahead of it's time.

I really enjoyed this book.If you are at all interested in Warhol this is the book for you.The format is amazing.The book has everything Warholian that you could want.

In a word Awesome.
Its a huge, heavy and visually spectacular overview of Andy Warhols career. The perfect Coffee Table book. First rate photographs and reproductions of Andy's work. One of the best available.

"Gee..." as Andy would say. "It's so big..." Brilliant compilation of Warholia with analysis and photos as evidence of His Genius. Two chapters- "America the Beautiful" and "Matinee Idols"- written by David Dalton who was there at the Creation are especially perceptive and insightful. Andy Warhol lives- Bigger and Better Forever!

This book is worth every penny, the photography is incredible, It's perfect!!!!!!!!!!
