Book Reviews of Tony Duquette
Book Review: Petit-Bourgeois
Summary: 2 Stars
If gaudy-petit-bourgeois-flamboyant style is your thing, then this book is for you. The book is well assembled, the photographs are fine. The style however is bordello-esque. For a more elegant alternative, buy Alberto Pinto.
