Published in November 2002 after three years in the making, Genesis
Publications was very proud to present Moonage Daydream: The Life and Times
of Ziggy Stardust. A collaboration between David Bowie and photographer Mick
Rock, the book was published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the
Ziggy Stardust LP's original release. Moonage Daydream is David Bowie's
first ever book and the ultimate authorised piece of Ziggy Stardust legend.

"Daniella Parmar's dye-job convinced me of the importance of a synthetic
hair colour for Ziggy. This turned into reality when I spied the Kansai
Yamamoto model on a fashion magazine cover. It was a slightly 'girlie'
magazine like Honey, definitely not Vogue.
In 1972, I duplicated not only the colour from this cover but the cut as
well. A complete lift. I've read in different accounts that the Ziggy cut
came from a number of different sources, or was designed by a local
hairdresser in Bromley or Beckenham. Absolute tosh!"
David Bowie
Mick Rock was the only photographer authorised to record the whole of
Ziggy's career from early 1972 to the end of 1973 and the book features a
massive 659 of his photographs (including 314 in colour), many of them seen
for the first time. Coupled with the extraordinary images is David Bowie's
sharp, often humorous text which discusses the origins of his fascinating
stage persona, comments on many of Mick's photographs, and overall gives
unprecedented insight into Ziggy's stratospheric two-year career.
