Less well-known are his writings for a number of prestigious publications, including The Spectator, The Oldie, the Literary Review, as well as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Tatler and The World of Interiors among many publications both in the UK and abroad. This curated collection celebrates Haslam's accomplishments as a writer, commentator and litterateur.

Haslam's critiques, commentaries, reviews and reflections attest to his status as a polymath: exhibiting his knowledge of assorted topics, ranging from architecture, painting and all areas of design to gardens, food, and social history, delivered with characteristic erudition, wit and insight. "
