"   In just over three weeks, on August 12th, one of the most anticipated anthologies of fashion photography in recent years will finally hit stores. The Sartorialist is street style arbiter and eponymous blogger Scott Schuman&amp;#039;s first book, and it is non-traditional in both its size (it&amp;#039;s no bigger than a new release hardcover) and like his blog, in its egalitarian mix of dressed-up, dressed-down subjects\u2014some of whom are snapped mid-pedal on a SoHo side street, some beachside in Rio in little more than a swimsuit and cover-up, while others are caught by the Tuileries, negotiating wet gravel in towering lace-up ankle booties during Paris Fashion Week.  As much as I&amp;#039;m a fan of Scott&amp;#039;s work, I&amp;#039;m an even bigger fan of his story. Born and raised in Indianapolis, the future photographer discovered early his love for fashion (his childhood hero was Giorgio Armani), letting it lead him from Bloomington to Manhattan immediately after completing his degree in fashion merchandising. After working for a decade plus in every capacity from sales to PR to building his own successful showroom from the ground up, on a whim he decided to buy a camera. He studied, he practiced, and one day, on a hunch that people might want to share his view of New York street style, he launched the blog that would eventually make him the well-known figure he is today. The Sartorialist, published by Penguin, also comes in a limited edition Bespoke Edition. Both are available now for pre-sale at Amazon. \u2014Johanna Cox, Junior Editor Photo: Courtesy of Amazon.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
