Assassinated Beauty: Photographs of the Manic Street Preachers

This had been sitting in my basket for a while, when one day I realised it had suddenly been reduced by quite a large amount so decided to treat myself (a 'no new books' rule can only last so long, after all).This has some lovely photos of the Manics at the start of their career.

There are no words to describe this book; you need to experience it. The images are lush, emotional and heartbreaking. I haven't stopped looking at it since it arrived. The black and white photo of Richey Edwards walking shirtless down a corridor, blood from self inflicted cuts, making trails down his chest, and the opposite of Richey cuddling a large Snoopy dog are heart-wrenching and romantic at the same time. Nicky Wire never takes a bad photo, with or with out eyeliner or shades. James always thoughtful and just a bit angry and the always ambivalent Sean. These are four of the most gorgeous humans in rock.

通常配達で注文の翌日には届き、梱包もやり過ぎず簡易過ぎずで丁度よかったです。また機会があれば利用したいと思いました。

This is a large coffee table book containing absolutely gorgeous photos. It would have been nice if there had been some commentary on the photos, but it is just nice to get a photo book of the Manics for an affordable price these days!

sweet book! got the book for a Christmas gift for my husband. great band!!!
