From the publisher's website (www link as at 1 June 2022):

Model, photographer, and one of the most iconic muses of the twentieth century, Pattie Boyd was at the epicentre of the London music and pop-culture scene in the 1960s and 1970s. Pattie Boyd: My Life In Pictures is a deluxe visual treasure trove featuring over 300 photographs and artworks, with Boyd sharing full and intimate access to her personal archive for the first time.

Former wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton, Boyd is famously the inspiration for Harrison's Something and Clapton's Layla and onderful Tonight. Boyd's love of photography developed around the time of her marriage to Harrison. She documented their life together, and later her second marriage to Clapton, capturing a vast archive of images not just as part of two of the most famous marriages of all time, but also of their close friends and contemporaries, including Twiggy, David Bailey, Mick Jagger, Billy Preston and The Beatles

Boyd's archive also includes letters from her marriages and from friends, including John and Yoko. It includes diary entries, artefacts and artworks, most famously the original Layla album cover painting by Emile Frandsen. It features extensive photographs from her early modelling career, including Vogue and Vanity Fair, giving a fascinating snapshot into the sea-change that occurred in the modelling industry from the post-war demure black and white approach to the psychedelic, short-skirt, swinging 60s and Pattie's place in the centre of this shift. It includes portraits and photographs of Boyd taken by some of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century, such as David Bailey, Eric Swayne, Terence Donovan, Robert Freeman and Robert Whitaker.

JPGR&B SUBS 24th Jun 2022		In the runup to the publication of her new book My Life In Pictures, Pattie Boyd features in the Summer 2022 edition of the Goodwood magazine.



JPGR&B SUBS 1st Jun 2022		Reel Art Press snaps up ‘deluxe visual treasure trove’ of Pattie Boyd photos and stories By Lauren Brown, 30 May 2022, The Bookseller



JPGR&B SUBS 1st Jun 2022		Originally scheduled to be published by Insight Editions as My Life Through A Lens, ISBN 9781683834120. The Amazon description from 2020 was: An extraordinary visual memoir from Pattie Boyd - model, photographer, and muse to rock 'n roll royalty. The former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, Pattie Boyd is perhaps the most famous muse of all time, inspiring Harrison's Something and Eric Clapton's Layla and Wonderful Tonight. Swept up into the height of Beatlemania as a young model, Boyd captured endless photographs of her years with the band, and later with Clapton. In Pattie Boyd: My Life Through A Lens, Boyd offers candid and intimate photographs of rock royalty and the elite social circles of the 60s and 70s, and also shares the drawings, paintings, and mementos collected from a life shared with pop-culture icons. Alongside it all are Boyd's own stirring reflections, giving a look into the golden age of rock 'n roll that only a woman at the center of it all could provide.



JPGR&B SUBS 8th Dec 2021		I think we can safely assume this book won’t be published in 2021 as it is now 8 December 2021! I’ll amend the publication date to 2022.



JPGR&B SUBS 31st Aug 2021		On 8 January 2021 Pattie Boyd posted the following comments on Twitter: “Hi all, I’ve had some enquiries regarding the release of my new book. As many of you will know, it was originally planned for summer 2020 and then moved to March 2021. It will now be later in 2021 due to the current lockdown constraints etc. Thanks so much for your patience pb x.”



JPGR&B SUBS 4th Jun 2020		Now postponed from 9 June 2020 to March 2021.
