This is the retro cookbook of the century; the cookbook that will go in everyone's time capsule.Pulled together with the panache that is the signature of the world's greatest entertainer extraordinaire, the king of exuberant excess, Joy of Liberace features many never-before-published personal and candid photographs of Liberace with family and friends, images as over-the-top as Liberace liked to be. Many of these images have been colorized based on meticulous historical research conducted at the Liberace Foundation's archival library.
