Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work by Tim Gunn
3.0
While I agree with nearly every one of Gunn's major points and assertions, and have no doubt he'd be a delightful colleague or dinner guest, this book seemed like it was sutured together. Some of the content is carefully written advice, beautifully worded and well thought-out. The rest is casually worded gossip and harangues that seems more like something told to a reporter over coffee (or a few drinks).
If you're a fan of the man, this won't disappoint (I've never seen the show). And if you love industry gossip, you'll enjoy it (I wouldn't know Michael Kors from Tommy Hilfiger if he sat next to me on the train). But if you're looking for practical advice on propriety, you'll probably find yourself skimming.
Dear publishing industry, I'm beginning to see why you're having problems. Where have all the decent editors gone?
