Booking The Sartorialist

Scott Shuman, better known as The Sartorialist, has just landed himself another title: author. In addition to being a photographer, blogger, tailor, and icon, Schuman is now an author! Under contract with Penguin, the photographer/blogger/tailor will publish a 500 page book featuring plenty of photos and a bit of writing as well. "I have received many offers in the past about doing a book, but I held back until I felt the right offer was at hand," says Schuman. "The main reason I feel so excited about this project is that Penguin will publish the book in paperback, and a special limited-edition 'bespoke' version simultaneously. This was very important to me because as a photographer I wanted a beautiful book to showcase my images - but I didn't want to do just another expensive coffee table book that would be too expensive for many of my readers. I think this creative method will be the best of both worlds."

It's good to know he's thinking about the little people...being that they kind of made his career and all. I'm definitely excited about this book. I'm going to start saving up now so that I can buy one of those limited-edition hardcovers...you know they're gonna be boss!
