This luxe edition provides a deep and comprehensive look at the groundbreaking career of Slim Aarons, spanning five decades. The book begins with Slim’s fieldwork as an army photographer and continues through his fledgling days in Hollywood, opening the LIFE bureau in Rome, doing fashion and travel shoots for Holiday, and finally traveling the world for Town & Country.

With a new and definitive biographical essay, spotlights on key moments in his career, and exclusive insights from former associates, Slim Aarons: The Essential Collection gives readers an unprecedented look into Slim’s private world. The supervisor of Slim’s image archive, author Shawn Waldron’s text digs into the photographer’s biography in unprecedented detail and reveals new information, while award-winning journalist, historian, and New York Times bestselling author Lesley Blume provides historical context to Slim’s career. Additionally, Slim’s former assistant and author Laura Hawk reveals the intricacies of her friendship with Slim, and historian, author, and Vanity Fair contributing editor Nick Foulkes explores Slim’s influence on our current cultural moment.

After five previous books, Slim Aarons: The Essential Collection presents the best of the previous image collections, including hundreds of iconic black-and-white and color photos, along with more than 100 rare and previously unpublished works. This beautifully produced book, a tribute to Slim Aarons’s incredible contribution to modern photography, is the result of intensive scholarship and research, making it a must-have for any Slim fan and photography lover.

    Was gifted this book by my parents for Christmas, as I am a Slim fan. It is definitely the best coffee table book of his work. An absolute must have for anyone that enjoys his work.

    I liked everything about this incredible photographer.

    I worked with him as an editor of Town & Country. After WWII, which Slim covered, he only wanted to shoot beautiful women in beautiful places. This wasn’t because he was vacuous; the Great War and its grizzly nature had such an impact, he ran away from that ugliness for the rest of his life. A remarkable man, Slim was also equal parts rake (he loved women) and raconteur, a great companion for writers and editors alike.

    Okay, so I definitely should’ve read the size and weight description, first. I’ve never in my life come across such a massive book! I was so shocked, Hahaha! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Hilariously large, but so beautiful and perfectly made. I’m beyond happy.

  9. Amazon Customer

    Although this book is very expensive, we bought it as a coffee table display book and it does the job perfectly. The photos are amazing inside. The book itself is heavy, and large. Very good quality

  10. Heather

    Great value, its like a compliation of other Slim Aarons books in one! Much better, I love a big book! This one is much better than buying other ones since they are smaller.

  11. EC
