Book Reviews of Andy Warhol: "Giant" Size, Large Format
Book Review: BEST WARHOL BOOK EVAH!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Seriously. I own just about every coffee table book there is about Warhol, the Factory, and his Superstars and none of them, and I mean NONE of them, compare to Giant Size.
Giant Size is a chronological visual biography that not only gives a greater insight to Warhol's life but also includes never before seen photos, correspondence, film stills, and artworks all in one GIANT SIZE close to 800 page book. You even get to see the actual source material for many of Warhol's famous screen print paintings, entire series of paintings hardly ever touched upon in other books (like his photo booth series) and a really comprehensive overview of his films.
Starting from his birth and ending at his death, you feel like a close personal friend flipping through an intimate photo album as you journey through Andy's wild, celebrity filled life.
This book is MUST HAVE for any Warhol fan.
If you only buy one book on Warhol, GIANT SIZE is it.
Also, try to suss this out at a book store. I found a brand new copy still sealed in plastic for less than 55 clams.
Summary of Andy Warhol: "Giant" Size, Large Format

Culled from archives at the Warhol Museum and Warhol Foundation in addition to a variety of other private sources, "Andy Warhol Giant Size" provides an unprecedented look at the life and work of an endlessly fascinating figure.
