The Glossy Years: Magazines, Museums and Selective Memoirs
by Nicholas Coleridge
Nicholas Coleridge, Chairman of Conde Nast Britain, guides us through his charmed, celebrity-filled life.
Nicholas Coleridge guides us through his impossibly glamorous life. He always seems to strike it lucky, whether it is getting into Cambridge, getting out of prison as a young journalist or climbing the corporate ladder at Conde Nast. It must have all involved a lot of hard work, but Coleridge doesn’t make it feel that way. A very easy read, full of interesting vignettes of (mainly) London life over the past few decades.
