Books, I love ‘em.
One of my lifetime dreams and property buying requirements is to have space for a wall completely dedicated to beautifully bound books. I’m not talking about trashy novels, entirely the opposite. No, gorgeous coffee table books will grace the floor to ceiling shelves, perhaps with a few Penguin classics and my well thumbed copy of Breakfast at Tiffanys nestled in between the glorified picture books showing everything from food to fashion.
Currently my collection is small; an edited version of fashion, photography and illustration including books I’ve collected from charity shops, exhibitions and those I have been lucky enough to receive as gifts.
The newest edition is Pictures by Tim Walker, a supersized A-Z of all his works complete with scribbles and scrawls describing the thought process behind each shot. It is truly beautiful and a decadent read, the embodiment of escapism and ultimate inspiration.
