This look at Andy and his work shows the reader a quick look into Andy's background, being one of three sons of Slovakian immigrants; how he had actually wanted to be a dancer like he'd seen in movies but excelled at art and followed where that lead him.
From his start at Glamour drawing shoes to how he got into doing Pop art; creating the Factory; how an actress from one of his films shot at him and it took him years to recover and paint again to doing Rorschach paintings; sometimes using urine for his 'oxidization pictures'; holding an exhibition of pictures of children's toys; to making his time capsules; this book covers almost everything Andy.
There are color photos presented alongside black and white of Andy and his work, informative text about his life & career and is an overall incredible view into Andy's world.
