Synopsis
Solomon couples her photography of antique keys with words of wisdom from some of our time's most celebrated figures. The likes of Sidney Poitier, Tony Bennett, Doris Day, Kim Novak and Barbara Walters give insights into their lives, with each story accompanied by a key that symbolizes the interviewee., For most of us, most of the time, keys are simply pieces of metalthings we stash in a pocket or purse, hardly thinking about them between uses. Its when we misplace one that the key reveals itself to be one of the most significant articles in the world. Without the right key, were locked outand in need of help. Thats why we also use the word "key" in another, figurative sense: to stand for an idea that answers a riddle, solves a problem. This profound connection between physical and metaphorical keys is the touchstone of photojournalist Linda Solomons powerful new book. A collector of vintage keys, Solomon decided to make photographs of these intriguing objects. As she was doing so, she fell upon a revelationthat the keys we truly treasure are those that wisely address lifes difficulties and bring us peace of mind. In "The Key," Solomon couples her beautiful black-and-white photos of intricate antique keys with words of wisdom from some of our times most celebrated people. The author interviewed luminaries in every fieldSidney Poitier, Tony Bennett, Doris Day, Kim Novak, Meredith Vieira, Barbara Walters, Hilary Duff, and many othersincluding celebrities who rarely grant interviews. Each life-changing, life-affirming insight in this wonderful collection is accompanied by a key that symbolizes the interviewee. Proceeds from the book will benefit breast cancer research, and several of the contributors are survivors of the disease., Solomon couples her beautiful black-and-white photos of intricate antique keys with words of wisdom from some of modern times most celebrated people, several of whom are breast cancer survivors. Proceeds from the book will benefit breast cancer research.

Amazing seller!
- n***c (94)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseseller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
