Like. Love. Want. All their books!

Hallelujah! My favorite book publisher Taschen opened its first flagship store in Amsterdam. Finally! I’m a huge fan of their books and I’m seriously trying to build up an impressive collection… But the problem is: I rarely buy the limited editions or XL books because they’re so expensive. But that is going to change!

Yesterday I talked to Benedikt Taschen himself and I’ve learned that it’s a really good investment!!! Helmut Newton’s SUMO was limited sold by a price of $1,500. Today the same book is worth $15,000! So the price increased one thousand percent! And even the Kate Moss by Mario Testino book has already tripled its value, since the launch in 2010.

So my next savings will go to the PC Hooftstraat 44. Just so you know. :)
