 A rare gem February 10, 2005

I tend to enjoy history and science books so finding Precious was a real joy for the other side of my brain. The photography was inspired and, in a guilty pleasure sort of way, I really enjoyed reading about the famous and beautiful and learning just a bit about what made them tick.
refreshing February 8, 2005
What an interesting take on celebrity. I loved reading and looking at the pictures. Cool idea.
Beautiful and Inspiring February 7, 2005
This is a lovely book. It helps celebrate the beauty in all of us. In a world filled with botox and plastic surgery it is inspiring to see people love themselves for who they are. Everyone should take the time to buy this book, and then step back and decide which parts they love of themselves. I love my size, all 4'10'' of me :)
Brilliant! February 4, 2005
This is such a unique idea and the photography is absolutely brilliant! I love knowing what celebrities value and seeing them highlight these values in photos that differ from the usual fashion spreads. And it's adorable that photographer Nigel Parry included photos of his children - after all the proceeds of the book go to the Starlight Children's Foundation! Side note: this makes an amazing gift! Well done all around!
Great Book, Great Cause February 4, 2005

I am so happy I purchased this book. The photos are beautiful and fresh, and the commentary is pretty revealing about what these famous people have in their minds (some good, some bad). The design of the book is eye-catching...perfect for your table, and to inspire conversation. I definitely think these talented photographers created something worth every penny. Plus, in today's world where people are mostly jaded and cynical, I think it's pretty cool that two artists decided to do something completely unselfish for a good cause. Bravo!
