Christmas is coming and that means the search for the perfect gift is in full swing. Now, for those who don’t know what to buy, you might want to buy a nice table book. Table books are not only very high quality, they are also a treat for the eye in the interior. They are often not meant to be read in, but to be a real eye-catcher in your home. Usually a table book contains beautiful illustrations with only a minimum of text. That is why we at PureDeLuxe have made a list of our favourites. We have done this by publisher: Assouline, teNeues and Taschen are the publishers of choice for a beautiful luxury table book.
Our selection from the Assouline collection:
1. Veuve Clicquot
