Reading Is Fundamental With "The Essential RuPaul"

"I read books"

You've got RuPaul's albums, her chocolate bar—hell, you even spritz yourself with her perfume. But do you know everything there is to know about the Supermodel of the World?

The Essential RuPaul: Herstory, Philosophy & Fiercest Queens is unofficial guide to Mama Ru and her royal Drag Race court, offering quotes, RPDR history and examples of RuPaul's unique philosophy.

There's also gorgeous illustrated profiles of Adore, Detox, Latrice, Bianca and many more—30 queens in all—from artist Libby Vanderploeg.

Author John Davis, aka Australia's DJ Argonaut, is a self-described Drag Race "fanatic" who routinely rubs elbows with the queens in the clubs. (He even boasts he can recite the order of elimination of every queen in Drag Race history!)

The Essential RuPaul: Herstory, Philosophy & Fiercest Queens is out now on Smith Street Books/Rizzoli
