Available any day now is PECULIAR TO MR. BOWIE: A DAY WITH DAVID BOWIE IN 1971 by JOHN MENDELSSOHN.

This limited edition A4 photobook, contains 48-pages featuring rare photographs of David Bowie and is available exclusively via nortonrecords.com website.

Written by veteran rock journalist and photographer John Mendelssohn and featuring photographs he snapped of Bowie after meeting him at a San Francisco press junket.

Bowie was in the U.S. to promote his then-latest album, The Man Who Sold The World, and the press event took place at a Holiday Inn. Mendelssohn shot a roll of film of the fledgling rocker, and spent time chatting with him. His interview was published in Rolling Stone magazine.

Peculiar to Mr. Bowie includes the Rolling Stone article, as well as Mendelssohn's reflections on Bowie. The pics captured Bowie wearing two "man-dresses" designed by London-based tailor Mr. Fish. One of the outfits was the same floral-print dress David is wearing on the cover of the U.K. version of The Man Who Sold The World.

The book also includes information about the origin and influence of the man-dress written by British-Irish pop-culture journalist Paul Gorman.

Fans who pre-order the book will also receive a free souvenir bottle of a perfume called 'Peculiar', while supplies last. According to a description of the perfume, it's "a refined scent, reminiscent of old London, with a hint of lavender, suitable for all persuasions." The fragrance was created with organic Canadian floral waters.
