Description: "'Prince: A Private View' arranges Shahidi's work into a visual journey through a decade of Prince's extraordinary life. Almost half of its more than 250 photos are seen for the first time in Shahidi's book; they display Prince's charm as well as his talent, featuring unguarded moments as well as the polished and produced images he used to promote his work. Shahidi's personal and professional photographs of Prince are enriched with captions that give texture and context to their work together. The stories in the captions--some intimate, some intense, others funny--are brief but complete, and together reflect the essence of a beloved artist and star."--dust jacket flap.
