The book covers the duo's work from 1971 to 1985, featuring over 200 photographs of their iconic "living sculptures" and "photo-paintings", and showcasing their most significant and influential pictures from this period. It also includes an introductory essay by art critic Carter Ratcliff who provides the context and analysis of the artists' work during this period. The book is organized chronologically, with each section dedicated to a specific period or theme.

Considered a collector's edition due to its high-quality production and limited availability, the book is a must-have for fans of Gilbert & George's work, art historians, and anyone interested in photography or contemporary art. It is a crucial reference providing a unique insight into the creative process and artistic vision of one of the most influential art duos of the 20th century, showing their innovative use of photography as a medium, exploration of themes such as identity and materiality, and the ability to create complex and thought-provoking images.
