About this title: She was riveting to look at, a sprite of the zeitgeist, the living distillation of the over-amped vision of New York in the mid-sixties. Like many exotic creatures that Andy Warhol shed his light on, she initially bloomed--became the symbol for all that was hip and stylish--and just as quickly began to disintegrate. Told with unsparing candor and with candid images that capture her at the peak of her Factory stardom, Edie Factory Girl is the short but enduring cultural story of Edie Sedgwick--releasing in time for the film of the same name starring Slenna Miller, and including rare photos of ...

"i picked this up during the recent "warhol live" show at the san francisco de young museum - it is an odd mix of photos and an even odder style of writing. once i got past the author(s) over illustrative writing style and criminally liberal excess of too many different type faces, i enjoyed the journey of edie's very brief and short lived factory days. very sad girl - but such a long lasting icon of style."
"My friend Nat Finkelstein did all the original photos for this cool insider book on Factory darling Edie. I liked the color images combined with the easy to read accounts of her from friends. Some folks didn't like that they painted a sometimes less than flattering portrayal of her. But I liked that it seemed that the people that associated with her the most were revealing the good and dark side of the icon"
"I read some pretty terrible reviews, but I couldn't put this book down. It is no way as wonderful as Edide:An American Girl, but it has a ton pics that I hadn't seen before and is written in sort of haunting, sometimes cheesy, prose that I sort of dug."
"Each page has gorgeous full color photo or photos of Edie, some of which I have never seen before but most of them I have in other books. A lot of the color photos also appear in Nat Finkelstein's The Factory Years which gives a greater photographic over view of "the factory". The pages are thick and glossy and technicolored like a Warhol painting and the font, utilizing many different font sizes in one paragraph, can be a bit challeging to read. The text is primarily a rehash of snippets from George Plimptons Edie: An American Biography which is far superior in content and photos although all of the photos are black and white. Over all a nicely done tribute to a fascinating and tragic person but more of a photo album/coffee table book than a biography. A definite must for any Edie fan."
