The Official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book by Taylor Swift

hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.0

While the concept of this book is exciting, the execution is quite poor. Especially for an official book at this price point, the editing was rushed and I doubt that they reviewed a prototype before creating copies for sale. The focal point of several pictures (Taylor Swift) is placed in the center of the spread, resulting in her face being in the gutter as this book does not lay flat. In time, I may have the benefit of nostalgia and appreciate this book as a tour memento.

I love Lucy Worsley's voice and sense of humor, which gave this biography personality and shape. I enjoyed learning how Christie's personal life was mirrored in her writings.
