"One of my favorite books ever but I do confess, I do love a good polaroid. Polaroids by and from some famous faces like Warhol but some others that I didn't know at all. I bought this book from Amazon for just 10 bucks. The best 10 bucks I've ever spent."
TASCHEN Books: TASCHEN's Paris by Dr. Angelika Taschen
1 recommendation
"Dreaming of April in Paris ? Perhaps a transatlantic flight isn't in the budget but this visually stimulating, 400-page volume offers a smashing perspective on the City of Lights, including shopping (the Comme des Garcons boutique for one), luxuriating (the Ritz Hotel on Place Vendome, amongst others), and dining (the literary watering hole La Palette.)"
TASCHEN Books: Baseball - Ballet in the Dirt by Neil Leifer
1 recommendation
"I hate to think that the golden age of baseball has already come and gone. I like to believe that the game is still driven by, well, the love of the game. Rookies, like short stop Alcides Escobar, may indeed be the life blood of today's contract-addled baseball times. I hope he brings his heart to the Show as a Milwaukee Brewer this season . . . and remembers what it was that got him hooked on ..."

TASCHEN Planner
2 recommendations
"Visually intriguing, useful and a great weekly/monthly/yearly reference, the taschen planner series are stunners for the art enthusiasts. I'm picky about my planners, and this has been the only one to make it past a month of use. I think it's mainly because each week a new full bleed image is opposite your calendar. After my 2008 one is done, I'll definitely be framing some of the images and p..."
Taschen: Travelogues - Burton Holmes photography

"I never knew that the term travelogue was coined by Burton Holmes in 1904. Along with being one of the first people to trade in telling engaging stories of their travels to far off lands, he was also a wonderful photographer and documentarian of those places. Here is the world as it was before intercontinental travel was everyday, before mobs of tourists overran every corner of the world. This ..."

Walton Ford: Pancha Tantra
1 recommendation
"Walton Ford's art is deserving of a great book, and I'm happy to see Taschen Books take the time and care to present the work of Walton Ford in such a high quality art and collector’s edition. ABOUT THE BOOK: Walton Ford’s life-sized watercolors of animals could be mistaken for 19th-century natural-science illustrations or British colonial paintings. Except they’re not. Something strange and u..."
