And so I'm back, from outer space (weddings and christenings in England's green and pleasant land). I cannot seem to go on any journey without loading up on gifts for everyone (including me) and so it was that I did a whistle stop dash of Selfridges on Friday morning. I needed bath oils and candles for brides and birthday girls, I needed wrapping baby and booties for a baby Princess and I needed stilettos and a bag for myself. Of course I also needed books- because I seem to think books enhance all occasions- so I needed books for children, books for adults- travel guides for honeymooners, cookbooks, little books and larger ones too.
Time was ticking and I was sticking to the list and not getting distracted when I came across the Taschen table. I had seen the small Taschen guides before but there are now much larger, gloriously hard- backed guides to London, Paris and New York. Were I not emptying my bank account for babies, birthdayers and brides I would have bought them all. A beautiful book is virtually irresistible isn't it? but I had to resist. Next month, next month.

I can't wait to have a look at this...I have the Paris edition and love it, xv.
I so agree. I have seen these and they are indeed exquisite!
I would love to have this book... I've never seen them before!
Hi Vicki- I want them all- in fact in a way perhaps I need Paris or New York more as I don't know them so well... I can keep trying to convince myself can't I!
Hello Pamela- aren't they though, you just can't tell online. They are like those pop books for kids- but for grown ups. Wonderous!
Daily- oh you'd love them, they are tres chic!
God, I LOVE Taschen. I could buy the lot. I really want New New York Interiors. I have posted again - I won't be making any more mad decisions to leave the blogosphere, was feeling v fragile when I decided to quit. Better now. Fx
Rose I have given you an award on my blog... come on over and claim it! xo
C/F- you're back- hooray- and me too, book lust is harder to resist than virtually any other type of lust- because you can tell yourself a book is educational. Glad you're feeling better. Kx
Daily- how wonderful- I will let you know my scrap asap!
