Beckham buys Posh £750 book

David and Victoria Beckham Posh and Becks – as they’ve been dubbed by the media – met at a charity football match in 1997, prompting David to ask for the Spice Girl’s number. After a passionate – and quick – courtship, the pair announced their engagement in 1998, and were married a year later at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland on 4 July. In 2008, England footballing ace David announced he was accepting a contract with the LA Galaxy soccer team, and the picture-perfect pair – and their three children Brookyln, Romeo and Cruz - decamped to America. Ever since, ‘brand Beckham’ have become part of the A-list social set (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are on speed-dial), and are fast becoming one of Tinseltown’s most dazzling duos. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/158438/victoria-beckham.html

Back in 2005, Victoria Beckham famously admitted she’d never read a book – perhaps David’s £750 purchase is set to change all that.

The generous star has splashed out on a limited-edition signed Valentino fashion volume.

There are only 2,000 copies of Valentino Garavani: First Name in Fashion, which features pictures from the career of one of Posh’s favourite designers and commentary from leading fashion writers.

‘It will make for some good toilet reading for Victoria,’ one source told The Sun.
‘Most people might get a puzzle or gardening book in their stocking - but Posh gets this.’

Alternatively, the copy, which is covered in ‘elegant’ cloth and finished with silk tinted in Valentino red, would be perfect for a Beckham coffee table.

It might not be Austen or Shakespeare, but this is one read that might just turn Posh into a bookworm.

so easy to take a pop at victoria - what has she ever done that is so bad. With all the crap in the world - lets rip at the no drugs, no messing about perfectly decent woman who stays true to her man and her kids.
