The book is quite large and heavy. it arrived a few days late via a special USPS carrier.
I bought a floor lamp cost $500+ without the lamp shade delivered. The customer service promised me to ship a new lamp shade after obtaining my new address.
Just wonderful I have it on my table in living room and look at it constantlyIt is well done and the pictures are great.
I was really hoping this book would be more of celebration of the Bedford Hills anglophilic Ralph Lauren that I most closely associate him with. There is a brief portrayal of this side of Ralph Lauren and his ivy-league style, but not nearly as in-depth as I had hoped.
I love this fabulous Great book, fast shipping, love the book look amazing in my table. very happy with purchase.
Large coffee table book with beautiful colorful pictures of Ralph Lauren and his family as well as interesting info. This is exactly what we expected.
Why would anyone spend so much for a book of ads? No doubt about it, the guy has great taste: in clothes, models, furnishings, autmobiles, everything, in fact, except his egotistical presentation of himself.
This was purchased as a gift and was a real winner. The book is masterfully done and the quality is far above average.
If you're expecting to settle in with a nice long read about the nitty-gritty details of Ralph Lauren's life, this isn't for you (although he does share a good number of family pictures). For one thing, your arms would give out just from holding this puppy upright.
For my purposes the book was very useful and beautifully chronicled. So much so, I wish there had been even more of his designs put in, but it would have been huge.
Really a big book, about 14 pounds, with great pictures and stories. Delivery was quick and on schedule.
I agree with some of the other folks -- it is a whole lot of Ralph himself. But that's okay -- what a fabulous subject and a great innovator.
I expected a book with more of Ralph Lauren's early career and more home design. It is an elegant book; however, did not want page after page of pictures of Ralph.
No other designer has been more inspired by Hollywood in theatrically portraying his clothing designs in a fantasy world of outrageous priviledge, impossible beauty, understated elegance and grace. Mr.
I previewed this book at the bookstore as well and I can't wait to purchase it! I'm a thrift store type of person, so I am saving up for a copy:) What a totally beautiful book!
