Books are always a timeless gift and obviously a hand-written inscription in the jacket makes it that much more personal for the recipient. Here are some of our top picks for this Holiday season. For the Modernist entertainer, Madmen obsessed, 1960s enthusiast, the guide to making Vintage Cocktails is perfect. For your literati friends Vanity Fair’s Proust Questionnaire is just high-brow enough for you to gain some cred. The Sartorialist blog has a book filled with beautifully simple fashion images of everyday (fashionable) people walking city streets. The impeccably stylish Kelly Wearstler’s new book “Hue” is a wonderful inspirational gift for all those obsession with design. Wearstler has brought back old Hollywood design and done it with her own Modernist twist. And, don’t forget your little ones… There’s an artfully illustrated edition of “Puff the Magic Dragon” with a corresponding CD. If none of these seem just right and you’re shopping for the traditionalist, here’s a list of The Literary Canon.
