WOWEEEEEEEE !!! "IN BIBA" (by Delisia Howard)... I've never seen
br /anything like it.. Is it a bird ? Is it a plane? Is it a BOOK ?..
br /What fun ! Cocking a snook at corporate publishing.. These guys and
br /gals are really cooking.. Too young to remember the real thing, but
br /this makes it come alive... Easy to read, lovely to look at.. I've
br /read it three times already... A work of ART !!

I wanted to buy my wife a book about Biba for her birthday, as she frequently made trips in the late 60's from Plymouth to Kensington just to visit Biba. I chose this book after reading several reviews and I (and she) was not dissapointed. It is beautifully put together and was obviously written with love and a real passion by someone who was there.

No wonder MAYAKOVSKY shot himself in the head... What a total
br /MORON ! ... "IN BIBA" is a GLORIOUS and eccentric creation in its
br /entirety, made with love and passion by both the actual creator of
br /Biba and written by Delisia Howard, who worked closely with her for
br /years in the great days. The illustrations and the typography are
br /marvellous and the writing lively, original and, above all TRUE..
br /(and I couldn't find any spelling mistakes) It seems entirely in the
br /spirit of the original enterprise. It is a triumph. I loved it and
br /treasure it. the original Mayakovsky would have loved it too ! As
br /for the turgid tome "The Biba Experience" by Alwyn Turner... -dull,
br /passionless and full of inaccuracies and written by someone who did
br /not 'experience' Biba at the time.. so lacking in imagination I
br /wouldn't use it for a door stop ! Get the real thing - "IN BIBA".

I noticed this book in a shop in london but as id brought another very much wanted book that day I decided to get it through amazon it took about a month to come through im guessing it was hard to find but well worth itpthe illustrations are amazing and so much detail has gone into the book - the 2 early editions (one limited to 400 copies and the extra edition i have with the authors signiture) are hand binded and cintents of the book are printed on very fragile paper.pThe book details information about the biba story and its boutiques - too be honest i only really brought the book for the illustrations but it seems more like someones private journal which is probably what influenced my decision to buy it. If you are interested in illustration or just biba in general then this is a great book to have
brilliant illustrations December 25, 2009

Bought for a close friend who was "there" in the 60;s. Biba was her favourite shop. She was delighted with the book
