Book Review - "Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue" by Grace Coddington (#13 - 2018)

Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue by Grace Coddington

I love Grace's work so I was super excited when the ginormous hardcover version of this book came out about three years ago.  But with a $140+ price tag, I balked.  Of course waiting around for a second-hand copy was futile because those prices were even worse (however, since this paperback has come out the prices have fallen quite a bit).  Apparently  it was such a huge success and was in such demand that finally they came out with a paperback version for roughly $35 (on Amazon).  I pre-ordered it.  And I love it, but I don't LOVE it.  It's much smaller size-wise than the original and I wish they would have beefed up the cover.  But it is a beautiful book, full of pictures from editorials that I love with commentary about the shoots and Grace.  I'm glad I have the book, but I was left wanting just a little more.  I can't explain it, but something felt missing/lacking.  Anyway, I only wish I could have her sign it (dare to dream).  If you are a fashion fan/historian/etc. then certainly pick this up.
