Product Description
Like its predecessors, Once Upon a Time and A Place in the Sun, Poolside with Slim Aarons offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. Yet this new collection of stunning photographs of the rich and well-connected “doing attractive things” in their favorite playgrounds has a new twist.
The main character is pools and everything that goes with them—magnificent, suntanned bodies; well-oiled skin; bikini-clad women; yachts; summer cocktails; sumptuous buffets; spectacular locations; and most of all: fun. Poolside is not so much a Who’s Who of society, aristocracy, and celebrity—although C. Z. Guest, Lilly Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard, and many who have appeared in the previous books are here—as it is about leisure time and how the rich make use of it. This is a more intimate peek into very private lives, to which Slim Aarons was given unprecedented access in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties.
From the Caribbean to Italy and Mexico to Monaco, Poolside with Slim Aarons whisks the reader away to an exclusive club where taste, style, luxury, and grandeur prevail.

Product Review Summary: Beautiful Beautiful photography of poolside scenes from across the world.
Fun and mostly unstaged, lovely locations and fashion.
Product Review Summary: Poolside By Skim Aarons The book arrived in good time and was in good condition. There was a small nick on the cover.
Considering I paid a bout a third of the retail price for a second hand book, I was very happy with my purchase and the book.
Thanks again
Product Review Summary: I didn't see Bernie Madoff's House... If this book was truly about the rich and famous, it would feature the "recently un-riche" and INFAMOUS... but I digress..
Product Review Summary: Takes you back in time..... Poolside is a wonderfull journey back in time with sometimes perfect architecture of the surrounding buildings. Most of the names were not familiar for me of the jet set people but it sure gives great value for money. If you like the coloursettings of "Thunderbirds" or "I dream of Jeannie" this is a book worthwile.
Did people in those days have more class & civilisation than nowadays? If you liked "Back to the future" than you will like Poolside!
Product Review Summary: perfect condition The book is brand stinking new and PERFECTLY PERFECT! Gorgeous - thank you!
