Thanks for the heads-up! I was wondering if you had any Taschen fashion book recommendations. Some seem a bit too spare to be really useful, but I haven’t really researched it.

Taschen books are well priced…

Taschen’s ‘Fashion’ by The Kyoto Costume Institute is really fantastic.

I thought all Taschen books were cheaper for 2009 because they’re celebrating 25 years?

As a seller of books, I can say that Taschen books are waaay more affordable than most. So I find it funny that you say that they are so expensive. So if they are having a sale, then they will be dirt cheap.

Taschen books are absolutely cheap. Many of them are under ‚Ǩ10 which is fantastic, especially since their quality is excellent, looking at the content and the design as well. It’s true though that some of their albums are expensive – but they are big books, like the complete works of Michelangelo, or come with extras, like a signed this-or-that by someone. At the same time, there is always a cheaper version of the expensive albums, usually in smaller size.
And it’s true that the 25th anniversary books are even cheaper, but it’s not for 2009 – they’ve been celebrating for at least 2 years!

i didnt know they were expensive…i found an odd copy of 2005′s Fashion Now in Barnes and Noble for 14 dollars.

Prices vary depending on the volume. Some of the larger books are over $100.
That, to me, is expensive.

Taschen’s Fashion Now 2 is on the clearance rack at Barnes & Noble right now!
