Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen Jacqueline Llewelyn-Bowen A PINCH OF POSH Double Signed Hardback
First edition, second print hardback of A PINCH OF POSH: A Beginner's Guide to Being Civilised by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Jacqueline Llewelyn-Bowen. Published by Collins/ Harpercollins Publishers, London, in 2006. Signed by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Jacqueline Llewelyn-Bowen on the title page.The book is in very good condition (Clean black cloth boards with white lettering on spine), with minor wear to the illustrated dust jacket which is price not clipped (light creasing to the edges). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no other inscriptions.
With his muddied bourgeois blood and inherited sense of Celtic romanticism, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is master of the mysterious and powerful magic of makeover. He is the author of six books, presents television programmes on design, interiors and travel, and holds his cameo on League of Gentlemen dear to his heart. As yet, he does not have a rose (or any other flower) named after him.
Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen comes from a family that for generations has been cluttering up the aisles of churches with courtly brasses and marble tablets to knights and their fair ladies. But, like Tabasco, the hot DNA of her Polish grandmother (ice dancer, knife throwers assistant and professional hostess) makes her who she is today. She is an author and television presenter, and is proud to have seen the Sex Pistols live at the Marquee when she was 13.
"Sit up straight, smarten yourself up, find a saucer for that cup and prepare to be Poshed.
What is a Pinch of Posh?
As the bloodless severed head of class lies hollow on the marble pavement of the Winter Palace, it is obvious that the world cries loud for leadership.
Through a life lived as an example of civilisation, Mr. and Mrs. Llewelyn-Bowen show how to create a new perfect brand of Posh for a post-post-punk generation, all uniquely (bespoke) tailored so that even you might learn to enjoy 2000 years of culture, spot fake Prada at 100 paces and most important of all, learn how to use "One" correctly in any (and every) sentence.
With this book the world can at last rid itself of the evil that is middle-aged ladies in mini-skirts; the morbidly obese in sports wear; men stripped to their juddering waists to celebrate the first day of spring; and above all, street eating.
It's witty, it's barbed, it's not always nice, but who doesn't find tough love deeply, deeply erotic? For after all the ends do justify the means and when the ultimate goal is a Pinch of Posh no sacrifice is too great.
