The Beautiful Ones, Prince

A terrific insight into the life of Prince. I had the fortunate luck of being the first person to check out the book from my local library (love that new book smell on glossy pages). It opens with the last few months of Prince’s life with co-writer Dan Piepenbring… who does a great job in the first 47 pages to relay his relationship with Prince. Told in 4 parts through candid photography, actual pages of song lyrics, and the words of Prince himself with his actual written pages and no editing from others. We see how Prince became Prince. A great tribute and must-have addition to any Prince fan’s library.
