Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their first album and coinciding with a major world tour, Pet Shop Boys, Catalogue is a lavish visual retrospective of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's entire career. Every aspect of their work is featured: all the elegantly designed sleeve artwork and packaging; stills and behind-the-scenes shots from every video, film, concert and theatre show; experimental stage sets and cutting-edge fashion and costume designs; collaborations; publications; and ephemera. A visual feast of art, music and design, the book will appeal to both the devoted Pet Shop Boys fan and anyone interested in contemporary popular culture.

Historian Philip Hoare has written critically acclaimed biographies of both Noel Coward and Stephen Tennant. He is also the author of Icons of Pop (1999) and Spike Island: The Memory of a Military Hospital (2001).
