McQueen tribute book to hit bookstores this fall
Marshall Terrill’s long-awaited
tribute to the small-town rebel who continues to keep so many millions
spellbound is coming to bookstores for the holiday season.
Steve
McQueen: A Tribute to the King of Cool (Dalton
Watson Fine Books), tells the actor’s story in chronological order through the
eyes of those who knew him best: family, friends, co-stars, business associates,
acquaintances and adoring fans from around the globe. Written in passage form, each person brings a different view
to the man and legend, presenting him in an unsurpassed 360-degree perspective.
“It’s very unique in its
presentation because it reads like a biography, but it’s really a photo and
tribute book,” Terrill said, who spent nearly three years compiling the
information. “There’s really
nothing else on the market quite like it. I
know it will please McQueen fans.”
Accompanying the 200 passages are
hundreds of photos taken of McQueen throughout his life and movie career, many
seen here for the first time as well as personal items, documents and movie
memorabilia.
The book will also include a foreword
by Barbara McQueen, a family tree of Steve McQueen’s history and quotes by
several Hollywood luminaries.
