    Great price for an amazing book!

    Even though it took a long time to arrive, I am really happy I received this book. It was priced just right - almost 50% of retail. I am using this as one of the books on my coffee table

    A gift for a table book fan.

    I purchased this as a gift for a friend who has table books that are more for show than reading. Check around as I found it over $20 cheaper after purchasing...the book was sealed but I saw the contents before buying elsewhere. If you are into fashion and want to see trunks, bags, and pocketbooks you may love it!!

  • Bent corners

    After paying a good amount for a Louis Vuitton book I didn’t expect the corners to be creased. Didn’t package well.
