Over 100 photographs sit alongside expert text, so it reads as a proper history rather than a picture book with captions. It is the twenty-sixth title in a series we stock heavily, and it shelves beautifully next to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/products\/little-book-of-prada\"\u003eLittle Book of Prada\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/products\/little-book-of-gucci\"\u003eLittle Book of Gucci\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this an official Dolce \u0026amp; Gabbana publication?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, and the book says so on the back cover.
