Review:
Astonishing ... a thrilling and passionately indignant trawl through vanity's most polluted depths -- Jonathan Meades * Times * Punchily written ... deftly amusing ... a closely argued, brilliantly marshalled, important book -- Tom Rosenthal * Daily Mail * Full of fascinating fact and smart observation ... clever, stimulating and thoughtful -- Stephen Bayley * Observer * Essential reading for anyone who cares about the physical world around them -- Amanda Levete * Independent * As compelling a read as a popular novel ... it is as though the worlds of academe and the gossip column collide ... funny, acidic, penetrating and provocative -- Norman Foster * Royal Academy Magazine *
