The Kate Moss book by Mario Testino comes out tomorrow with only 1500 books being produced. Sign up here today for a better chance at owning a copy. I'd been telling myself I had to do a blog post about luxury book publishers ever since Assouline hosted their afternoon for bloggers in New York last week (their shop is in the Plaza Hotel). Perfect timing. Gisele Bundchen has been my favorite model since I was very young, but this Model/Photographer collaboration is exquisite. I've noticed my blog has turned into a Testino shrine these days.. view his work here.
"What Cartier is to watches Assouline is to books."

Coffee Table books. Also perfect timing because I finally filled out my blogger profile, along with the Book section where I've listed a few personal favorites. Many of them are Coffee Table Books. Top Publishers are Assouline, Taschen, Rizzoli and Abrams. They are luxury. Discover them.
Subject noteworthy: One of my favorite interior designers, Mary McDonald, is coming out with a book "Interiors: The Allure of Style" this fall. It can be pre-ordered here. My aunt Jessica shot some of the photography for it!
