Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A collection of iconic and unseen portraits by one of Britain's best-loved photographers. Bown has a large and devoted following among "Observer" readers (she's worked with the paper for almost sixty years) and photography fans at large. This collection includes previously unseen b&w portraits of the Queen, Orson Welles, Samuel Beckett, Quentin Crisp and John Lennon. An exhibition at Kings Place in London will accompany the launch of the book and the "Guardian/Observer" will offer promotional support.

Publisher's description:

Working almost exclusively in black and white and with natural light, Jane Bown produces astonishingly candid photographs that reveal the private side of her famous subjects. This collection not only presents Jane's well-known shots, it also goes behind the scenes to reveal unpublished pictures - the ones that hit the newsroom floor.
