Rating: Summary: Absolutely fascinating! Review: Saw this book on display at a bookstore and am so glad I stopped to look at it. I've never seen anything like this. What a great idea to photograph so many well known people in the same sweater. I loved seeing what each person chose to do with the sweater and what the photographer had to say about some of the individual sessions. The fact that proceeds go to charity was icing on the cake. RUN to get this book!
Rating: Summary: An absolutely GORGEOUS book Review: THE SWEATER BOOK is a stunning look at human life through the form of many people (celebrity and non) wearing the exact same sweater. Mosher's photography is eye-catching and tremendously human which will bring an ear to ear grin to your face at one point as well as teary eyed sentiment the next.A MUST HAVE for any theater lover as well as photography fan. Substantial proceeds benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Cassidy's House in their fight against AIDS.

Rating: Summary: A Warm Book from a Warm Heart Review: This book is phenomenal. It captures not only the warmth of all the subjects, but Stephen's warm personality as well. You can hear him laugh and see him smile as you look at each picture. The man is the best photographer you could ask for.

Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: This book is such a beautiful and full experience from cover to cover. The photographs capture the spirit of each of their subjects. It would be very difficult to find a more beautiful or beautifully presented book. This book is a must for any serious collector and certainly for any fan of Broadway. EVERYBODY is in it! Well worth the very low-price. BUY THIS BOOK!
Rating: Summary: Pointless and boring Review: Wasted money on this boring book about a boring subjet and quickly offloaded it at a used book store. Save your money, don't but this book.
Rating: Summary: Simply beautiful! Review: What an amazing concept for a book. Every one of these pictures tells a wonderful story, far more than just famous people with the same sweater. From the young cast of the movie "White Squall" considering what they could do with the sweater to two faces of playwright/actor Charles Busch to various shots with cast members of the "Star Trek" series, each picture looks into the private world of these stars to reveal more about their personality than any profile on "Entertainment Tonight" ever could. It's a must have for photography lovers and for star lovers.
Rating: Summary: Great book for a good cause Review: When you buy a product and you know the proceeds are going to a charity, you always feel good about yourself. But good about the purchase itself? Not often. It's usually some lame overpriced promotional item that seems to reinforce the feeling that you did a good thing. NOT here baby!!! Although sales of this book benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, that's only one of the myriad of reasons to buy this touching, poignant and funny book. Yes, funny! A plethora of famous figures (and some not so famous, but all fabulous) pose with a sweater. The photographer did not tell them what to do -- they had to figure it out themselves. And their personalities are revealed by what they did with the pullover. For geeks, there's an amazing Star Trek section (TNG not TOS) and for theater queens there are multiple Broadway stars. I don't want to tell you who is in the book, because each time you turn the page, you should be surprised. If you love celebrities and you love photography, it's imperative that you own this teasure.
