You are in for a treat with a dazzling insider’s view of Palm
Beach’s high profile citizens of this exclusive enclave from the early 1970’s
to current times, “Palm Beach People”. Photos taken by Harry Benson CBE of royalty, captains
of industry, movie stars, wealthy family members in residence, families of
famed politicians and others of note are compiled and written up by Hilary
Geary Ross, providing a grand tour of private oases in exclusive Palm Beach
settings, often with glimpses of exquisite architecture of note.
A book signing will be held on Friday, November 28th
from 6-8 pm at the Foundation’s Library.
Cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres will be served. Please RSVP (561-832-0731). Cocktail attire requested.
Mrs. Ross, part of the NYC, Palm Beach and Southampton
social circuit throughout her life, has homes in each location and has chronicled
social activities worldwide as Society Editor for Quest and Q magazines. Featured in Town and Country, W,
Architectural Digest and other media, she is privileged to unique views and
friendships in the area. Ross is a

Noted as the most published photographer in Life Magazine
before it closed, Scottish born photojournalist Harry Benson CBE produces photographs
today for major magazines. He has had 40
one-man exhibitions worldwide and written 17 books and was named Commander of
Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth in 2009. This talented team has produced a book that you will enjoy
reading, a great cocktail table presentation to read and reread, a follow-up to
their first project, “New York, New York”, featuring an inside look at homes
and portraits of NYC’s movers and shakers.
Both will be signing.
