Box set of Wallpaper* City Guides: World Cities Art Fairs

First to recommend

Description

As an artist, I'm on the fence about going to art fairs, whether you're in them or just a spectator. They will leave a bad taste in your mouth forever. On the flip side, hanging out with your colleagues and sharing horror stories over drinks on the beach is a ton of fun. (via Phaidon)

Wallpaper* City Guide Berlin

Description

Lonely Planet guides are fine and dandy. They worked well for me in Korea, but I think I want a different perspective. I'm trying to plan a trip to Berlin so I think this will definitely come in handy. (via Phaidon)

I'd love to go to Iceland but I'd have absolutely no clue what to do there other than drink myself into a stupor and go fishing which....well, could make for a really good time. (via Phaidon)

This book is amazing. My boyfriend bought it for me for Christmas. Its a comprehensive, guide with illustrations, on how to do anything from attracting certain birds to your home to building a well and how to keep certain critters and pests away from your garden. I look at this book everyday. Its filled with so many interesting nature facts. Best gift I've gotten in a long time. (via Amazon)
