One of my most favourite designers and book Ralph Lauren by Ralph Lauren is a gorgeous and very heavy must have coffee table book for those appreciative of Ralph Lauren and his classic country, the American preppy to his romantic New England glamour.

Ralph Lauren by Ralph Lauren with numerous photographs by Bruce Weber is a magnificent tome. This big book, which must way 40 pounds, takes the reader on a journey through Ralph's life and career with short vignettes and incredible photographs.
If you have ever worn the Polo label or if you are nostalogic for the eighties, check out this fashion book!

not worth buying - unless you are obsessed with Ralph or pictures of him. the book is huge too - a 20 x 30" dumbell!
Biased-I love Ralph Lauren. Extremely stylish.
