I have had the pleasure of getting to know the lovely and very stylish Georgia Tapert this past year. Former design assistant to David Easton, Haynes-Roberts and Mica Ertegun (MACII), Georgia has a clear and heightened sense style and design. Her eponymous store Georgia Tapert Living in SOHO is a comprehensive collection of her extensive travels from across Europe, India, Asia and South America.I recently learned that Georgia is daughter of writer Annette Tapert (her stepfather is a writer, Jesse Kornbluth). Annette’s book The Power of Style is on of my all-time favorite books to read again and again. It’s easy to see that style, talent and literary love run in the family.

Life is Meals by James Salter. Its not a new book, but I like to give it to foody friends.
I will also give the Jacque Adnet book. Its in French, but I have so many friends that have been waiting for a copy. Hopefully they will do an English edition soon.
I just finished reading a book Peter Viertel wrote in the 70s called Bicycle on the Beach. I will be giving this book to some girlfriends.

The penguin classics are on my want list too. I would also like to receive the Yves Saint Laurent book.
Great books...I think I'll take the "Jacque" offerings--Jacque Adnet and Jacques Grange--both power houses of their times. Happy, cozy reading!!

ReplyDeleteAre you planning on attending Maison et Objet next month? I'll be there and at IMM Cologne and Heimtextile with a group of editors and designers from the US as well as some international bloggers and artists. We're trying to put together a meet and greet in Paris. If you're going to attend and you're interested in getting together let me know.

Hello - I purchased the Coralie Bickford-Smith books from Amazon last month. They are lovely. And Wonderfully cheap - about $14 each on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that I got Anne Tapert's books after reading this post. Great for the library!
