Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture?both highbrow and low.

This sumptuous book takes a decade-by-decade look at the world as seen by the magazine, stopping to describe the incomparable editor Frank Crowninshield and the birth of the Jazz Age Vanity Fair, the magazine?s controversial rebirth in 1983, and the history of the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
