I should first report that I have an aversion to huge books that are oversized and weigh a small ton. With that said, I strongly feel they should be bound properly so they don't fall apart, which this book is doing after seven years. Being a Vogue reader, I would say I saw many of these photographs and write-ups when they were issued originally, so the book is redundant, for me, in that sense. Irony in how things have changed in a decade.

Irony in how things have changed in a decade. Madonna divorced, Oscar de la Renta (and many others) demised. Probably the saddest entry was on Gianni Versace and his Miami home.

Not bad, but not great. The book suffers from trying to be and do too much. Is it a biography of the big names of Vogue? Is it a book full of the lush interiors of the rich and famous? It was enjoyable, but never quite successful.

I found a handful of fantastic gardens, beautiful staircases, and a few fabulous pairs of pants.
