PICTURE THIS
by Geoff MacCormack (ACC Art Books £30, 240 pp) GEOFF MacCORMACK met David Jones at primary school in Bromley, Kent, when they were both eight years old. They lived just a few doors away from each other and bonded over a shared love of music. A lifelong friendship ensued. This stunningly illustrated memoir charts that friendship with the man who later became David Bowie. It contains nearly 150 photos taken by MacCormack, some never seen before: from touring the Ziggy Stardust shows to Bowie’s first major film, The Man Who Fell To Earth (pictured on set). There’s even a witty and heart-warming afterword written by Bowie himself in 2007, which makes it all the more poignant. MacCormack lost his friend in 2016.
