Sappho by the Sea : an illustrated guide to the hamptons



What to say about such a book? Well, if you like David Hamilton et al. but with a heavy dash of humour this may appeal to you. Essentially a photo-narrative of 2 'friends' on their visit to the Hamptons, and its actually pretty stylish, great trenchcoats, florals, knitwear, tailoring, very much influenced by the better fashion shoots of the time. But of course, the 2 friends are rather intimate, so there's a fair bit of nudity/lingerie to boot. Also full of useful tips about the Hamptons. So, conclusion- great all round, if not a little odd.
