Legendary Authors and the Clothes They Wore is an innovative gift book that presents 50 fully-illustrated profiles of men and women of letters whose enduring work bears an original idiosyncratic stamp—and whose unique way of dress does the same through a signature look, hairstyle, or accessory. See exclusive extracts about such icons of literature and the sartorial stories they tell below.
