"A good reason to be famous, though, is so you can read all the big magazines and know everybody in all the stories. Page after page it's just all people you've met. I love that kind of reading experience and that's the best reason to be famous."
Compilation of Warhol's shorter aphoristic sayings and longer pieces, much of it adapted from taped conversations with the artist's collaborators and ghostwriters. Which is to say: an entirely Warholian production. Included with the book is the original receipt from the Washington D.C. department store Woodward & Lothrop where Warhol did a signing in October, 1975. With the soup can and provenance, an excellent copy.
