Palm Beach is a dazzling portrait and insider's view of a fabled and exclusive resort community and its high-profile residents, as seen through the lens of master photographer Harry Benson and the words of society columnist Hilary Geary Ross. One of America's most exclusive exclaves is captured from the early '70s to today, in hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs complemented by revealing captions. Subjects include the Duke and Duchess of Marborough; Mrs. Henry Ford; Tommy Lee Jones; Mrs. Winston Churchill; Brooke Shields and many more.
