Poolside with Slim Aarons: Glamorous pool photography capturing leisure, wealth, and sun-drenched elegance at its most aspirational.

If you love slim aarons this is a necessary coffee table book

Large book, great photos. Only downside is the cover is a plastic cover and the actual book cover is bright red.

I have a mid century modern living room and was looking for the perfect old school photography book. This is perfection! Highly recommend. I live in rainy Seattle so while sipping on my morning coffee I flip through the pages and dream of being by a pool somewhere in warm luxury... sigh. Great artist. Love it.

Loved the book, the subject and really D, “all the above”!! Aaron’s had a great eye for the shot, beautiful scenery and people! I highly recommend!!

See how the other half lived in this beautiful collection of color photographs from the fifties, sixties and seventies, featuring some the world's less cash strapped individuals by some of the world's more excessive pools.

Major coffee table book! Conversation starter!! Love Slim Aarons books!!! Everything Slim does, I buy! Great fun to read! Great fun to look at and think back to yesteryear!! Love, Love, Love! Buy, Buy, Buy!!!

Poolside is a great collection. I am an enormous Aarons fan and have his two other currently in-print books. Poolside shows some of the once great, but now little known members of an international society which is now all but gone. Doinnes, gold-diggers, and scions comingle in glamorous pools wearing Cartier watches, gold bracelets, and the classic '70s look, the gold chain softly nestled in a bed of chest hair. Hermes beach towels and Vuitton bags hold vigle under umbrella tables, visited by bowtie clad waiters refreshing drinks for little sister as she flirts with a countryless prince. Whats keeps his work from being complete camp, is that it was all real. People trully lived these lives. They weren't acting for a camera, they were caught in that moment when they were just happening to be having cocktails in Jamaica with Mrs. so-and-so. My only complaint is that many of the pic.s have been previously published in prior collections and others just don't have all the impact and roundness held in the selections Aarons made for the works published in his lifetime. There are many "society" photographers. None are Slim Aarons.

True lovers of good photojournalism know there's more to being a witness than endless photos of the abused, the oppressed, and the doomed. The world's one-percenters need love too. Poolside with Slim Aarons shows a lifestyle of sun, alcohol, and implicit easy sex in the days before nautilus workouts and Hair Club for men. I hope those guys took good care of those Rolex watches cause now they're worth a ton on eBay!

Libro de gran formato y muy buena calidad. Ya no se ven ambientes tan relajados en estos días. Una serie de fotografías espectaculares.

Un must have nella libreria di di qualsiasi appassionato di arte e fotografia!

Faut-il encore présenter Slim Aarons? Photographe de la jet-set et de la haute société, ce livre regroupe ici ses clichés des beautiful people au bord des plus belles piscines du monde. Et toute la magie du livre se situe dans le fait que l'on est transporté avec eux, comme si on y était, sans être jaloux, ni envieux mais tout simplement comme si pendant quelques minutes on avait partagé un moment de détente au bord de l'eau turquoise d'une villa exotique...

I am surprised by the poor quality of the photos in this book. I have seen brilliant clear versions of these photos in the Getty Archives. But in this book they are GRAINY and BLURRY and often DARK which kills the vibe of these photos. It looks like someone printed this photobook off at their local Costco.

For a 70th birthday gift .It was a great success
