Redeeming Features [SIGNED, DELUXE COPY]

[Nicky Haslam]

Nicky Haslam's autobiography is an essential record of late twentieth-century society. Through his work and connections, Haslam found his way into every party on both sides of the Atlantic. He knew many, including Cecil Beaton, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Dorothy Parker, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monoroe, Brian Ferry and Princess Diana. Redeeming Features is irreverent, amusing and compelling. Signed by Haslam, with an orange satin-lined limited edition case, the use of finer orange cloth for the binding, issued without a dust jacket, pink and orange ribbon markers, glossier and whiter paper stock, with the addition of many pink line illustrations by Haslam to the text pages (not seen in the regular edition), often with the text overprinted.
