Chanel: Her Life, Her World, and the Woman Behind the Legend She Herself Created

the book came in new condition. it is an excellent read and full of gorgeous, vivid pictures painting the image of the life and times of Chanel. beautifully written and thorough. if you are a fan of the reknown designer or not, you will be after you read through the biography of her life well written by Edmonde Charles-Roux. a book to pass down to your children or to keep for your own private library to read over and over again.

I paid almost full price for this book and I don't regret it. I found this coffee table book just lovely. I am not a fashion expert. I'm just a reader interested in interesting people, so I was looking for a book on CHANEL that gave a brief background on her life and photos of Coco and some of her fashions. Well, this book seemed to fit the bill---for me. I was not disappointed. I have enjoyed this book very much and it sits on my living room table , ----for the book to be browsed by others.

Visually pleasing and well-written, here is a book that would surely please Mademoiselle Chanel if she were still with us. Fans of Chanel and "Fashionistas" alike will undoubtedly be delighted with this big, beautiful book and its vast number of Chanel photos, which document Coco's personal world of fashion.

*Chanel and Her World* is a great document of a great woman! I've never seen another Chanel book with so many pictures, and that's what it's all about when it comes to one of the century's most important style-makers. It's a CRIME that it's out of print, because I MUST OWN IT.
