DESCRIPTION:
a great coffee book table if you're a beard lover and Nicole Rosine a great coffee book table if you're a beard lover and need a small item to add to your book collection. i bought this as a gift for my husband, and he loved it equally. Very cool book Holly I bought this book for my husband, who has been growing a rather impressive beard. It was a fun gift, everybody had to flip through and look at the pictures, which are very well done and interesting. I loved the handful of essays scattered throughout the book, written by various contestants of the 2009 National Beard and Mustache Championship. Who knew there were so many beard styles and even names for the styles!! I guess I was expecting a slightly larger book, sizewise, but the small size didn't take away from our enjoyment of the book.. Alyson said Fun book- like the pictures!. Bought this for my husband and he thought it was a neat book. We both enjoyed looking at the pictures of the different beards!
Alongside the images are essays by several of the championship competitors, including $teven Ra$pa and his beard Prepostero. This resulting collection of portraits features the bushiest, most stylish, and downright weirdest beards from around the world. Hundreds of bearded men strutted their stuff at the World Beard and Moustache Championships in Anchorage, Alaska, and photographer Matthew Rainwaters was there to capture it all. A magnificent showcase of chops, bristles, and whiskers, this book belongs on the shelf of any true facial hair connoisseur.. Taken straight on, the photographs are stark and stunning the beards speak for themselves
"Rainwaters manages to sidestep any hint of kitsch, instead offering honest portraits of hirsute men sporting looks from sublime to decidedly odd and over the top, making the slim volume an ideal stocking-stuffer for the thoughtful hipster in your life." -Dallas Morning News
Matthew Rainwaters is an editorial feature photographer based in Austin, Texas.
