Steve McQueen: A Tribute to the King of Cool (Dalton Watson Fine Books),
tells his story through the eyes of those who knew him best: family,
friends, co-stars, business associates, acquaintances and adoring fans
from around the globe.  Written in passage form, each person brings a
different view to the man and legend, presenting him in an unsurpassed
360-degree perspective.

 

"It reads like a biography but it's really a photo and tribute book,"
Terrill said, who spent three years compiling the information.  "I know
it will please McQueen fans."

 

Accompanying the 200 passages are hundreds of photos McQueen's life and
movie career, as well as his passion for automobiles, motorcycles and
antique airplanes, many seen here for the first time.

 

The 384-page book includes a foreword by widow Barbara McQueen, a family
tree, personal documents and memorabilia, and passages from several
Hollywood luminaries. 

 

Steve McQueen: A Tribute to the King of Cool will be released on March
24, 2010 and has been published in two versions.  The Special Edition
(US $95) comes in a slipcase and is limited to 2000 numbered copies
