Book Description

0312311664 978-0312311667 October 1, 2003 First Edition
A decade in the making, The Sweater Book is a fascinating study in personality. By asking his subjects to put on the same cardigan sweater and seeing how they choose to wear it, Mosher was able to capture on film a most remarkable phenomenon - when given a common item with which to express themselves, each person's distinctive personality came shining through, and the sweater becomes a symbol of what each considers to be most unique about themselves.

The resulting collection of over 500 stunning black-and-white photographs proves to be a touching and exhilarating ride from New York to Dallas, from Hollywood to London, as Mosher explores the creativity of celebrities and humbles alike - in their homes and workplaces, with their families and pets, in any way they chose. The people featured includes top names from the world of theater, film, TV, fashion, music, dance, and literature, such as Michael Bolton, Dominick Dunne, Matthew Broderick, Ted Danson, Tim Allen, Noah Wyle, Quentin Crisp, Josh Hartnett, Ryan Phillipe, and many more. See Sarah Michelle Gellar on the set of Buffy The Vampire Slayer before the first episode aired. See Swoosie Kurtz and Chris Meloni show some skin. See Jason Alexander re-enacting the behavior of his newborn child. See Jenna Elfman jumping for joy and Sela Ward snuggling her sibling. You will be amazed at how many different ways this one sweater can be worn!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fascinating!, October 3, 2003
This review is from: The Sweater Book: Hundreds of People...One Common Thread (Hardcover)
Saw this book on display at a bookstore and am so glad I stopped to look at it. I've never seen anything like this. What a great idea to photograph so many well known people in the same sweater. I loved seeing what each person chose to do with the sweater and what the photographer had to say about some of the individual sessions. The fact that proceeds go to charity was icing on the cake. RUN to get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Warm Book from a Warm Heart, October 30, 2003
By 
Emily Bloch (Bayside, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sweater Book: Hundreds of People...One Common Thread (Hardcover)
This book is phenomenal. It captures not only the warmth of all the subjects, but Stephen's warm personality as well. You can hear him laugh and see him smile as you look at each picture. The man is the best photographer you could ask for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, October 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sweater Book: Hundreds of People...One Common Thread (Hardcover)
This book is such a beautiful and full experience from cover to cover. The photographs capture the spirit of each of their subjects. It would be very difficult to find a more beautiful or beautifully presented book. This book is a must for any serious collector and certainly for any fan of Broadway. EVERYBODY is in it! Well worth the very low-price. BUY THIS BOOK!
