How to Have a Life-Style
Crisp, Quentin. Cecil Woolf, 1986. Softbound. Illustrated by William Vaughan. Cover design by Julie A. Beer. An indispensable style guide written by the raconteur who inspired everyone from Andy Warhol to Rob Halford. Crisp on education: 'Learning is no longer an improver; it is merely the most expensive time-filler the world has ever known.' On work: 'Never do for a living any job in which you cannot add what you are to what you do.' And on art: 'To insist in adult life on smearing surfaces with pigment or—an even deadlier give-away—plunging one's hands into soft clay can only be regarded as infantilism.'
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some bumped corners and moderate edge-wear, but nice solid copy overall. 159 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
