Miles, Chet, Ralph, & Charlie tells the story of the Andover Shop, and how our co-founder
Charlie Davidson transformed a tiny store into an unlikely literary and cultural salon that brought together musicians like Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Bobby Short, as well as writers like Ralph Ellison and Albert Murray. Yet the story was not who he dressed, but why. This book explores the unexpected role that Charlie's particular style of patrician clothing played in making people visible in the years before full civil rights.
 
The book is an "oral history" told through interviews with three of the leading voices in American style writing: G. Bruce Boyer (a former editor at Esquire and Town & Country), Alan Flusser (who dressed Gordon Gekko for the Wall Street movie, and who has written several of the canonical style books), and Richard Press (the former CEO of the iconic American menswear firm, J. Press).

Cute story
Format: Hardcover
Its a really fun book! We read it to my 1 and a half year old and he likes it for a while it just doesn't hold his interest for very long yet. Not enough pictures and the pictures that it does have are in black and white. Im sure he will enjoy it more when he gets a little older though!

I liked the sorties and the humor. My son and I enjoyed reading this book together. We both laughed and were amused. He is eight and we are excited to read the other books in the series.
