It's like asking for whipped cream and sprinkles on your tiramisu, though a very impressive compilation or work imortalizing the time. Ronald Edward Galella is an American photographer, known as a pioneer paparazzo. Dubbed "Paparazzo Extraordinaire" by Newsweek and "the Godfather of the U.S. paparazzi culture" by Time magazine and Vanity Fair, he is regarded by Harper's Bazaar as "the most controversial paparazzo of all time". Publisher's page is marked "First Edition 2006." This is a large book: 9 3/4"w x 12 1/4"h. No page numbers, but it is 1 1/4" thick.
A great photo journal of the genre-really captures the era of disco across the decades as well as the debaucherous and fabulous excess and entree given to the famosi of the times...
