Announcing the 2 winners of The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Berge books
DMC- is the winner of the book with the opulent US cover. Congrats DMC.
My Notting Hill wins the UK version. Congrats.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments. Originally I purchased the 2 UK books- One for giving away to all you- great readers & followers, and One for keeping. As I looked through it and it is wonderfully filled with Ivan Terestchenko photographs of the YSL & Berge, I decided to get the US copy of the book too. As always- a bit conflicted by the two choices. I do find I prefer the French cover even more- I think it is the RED in the background.
So on to the French version- Ivan Terestchenko says the book will be released later in English with the French cover and added "As a record from an insider, I took this shot FOR the cover right from the beginning, Pierre Bergé who was asked to choose between several other options, selected it instantly " this one of course" he said, so did Peter Saville who designed the cover and the book. By the way, there is also a German edition (the prestigious Rolf Heyne Collection ) who chose to keep this picture but , unnecessarily I think, darkened the red background.
I will be saving a RED YSL copy for my readers.

Just had a brain storm: why not start a designer book review post? Like you, I have been very disappointed in some of my new fall picks and it would be interesting to hear other's comments. A book that isn't on any one's radar is Janet Lindsay's All About Color. Her approach is an amazing, around the world of optics, biology, evolution and passion. The last two pages moved me to tears.
