 construction a little shoddy
By teepee
The contents of this book are wonderful, edgy photography, great subject matter.
If you are expecting just fashion, this is not the book for you. It holds storefronts, (hint:architecture in the title), art and just sufficient fashion to satisfy a woman. The actual book I received is a little shoddy.The binding does not seem strong and it feels the pages may come out with a lot of use. There likewise was
tearing on the title page next to the spine, this is a new book and I am a liitle
disappointed in the condition.

Diverse & colorful perceptivities into the LV world
By J. Wang
For those that are curious, this is the same book as the Exclusive Edition one available in LV boutiques and the online store for $130. The only divergence is the cover art work, 5 multiple colored tassels for bookmarking, and the plastic slipcase found on the Exclusive Edition. Otherwise, the content of the book is precisely the same.
I was debating amid purchasing this book and the Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury. After browsing through both books at my local LV boutique, I realized that they are in truth rather dissimilar and intended for dissimilar audience. For me, I was without delay drawn to the art works and international architecture designs and photos in the Art, Fashion, and Architecture book and how they relate to the overall effigy and designs of the company’s products. Numerous color photos of great past and current LV ads as well as display window pictures are another attraction that drew me to buy this book. Basically, I think of the The Birth of Modern Luxury as a “library, archival, historical” type of book while the Art, Fashion, and Architecture as the actual “modern, fashionable, and diverse” offering. I believe if you are into beautiful, high quality pictures and less reading, then this must be the choice among the two books.
Personally, I actually prefer this Standard Edition over the Exclusive Edition merely because I don’t need the slipcase and find the cover design on the Exclusive Edition a bit too cartoon-like.
This is in truth one of the nicest coffee table books I’ve ever purchased both in design and quality. My book arrived in pristine condition and Amazon did a outstanding occupation packing and shipping. A note when it comes to the binding issue a great deal of other reviewers brought up, the copy at the LV boutique looks like it’s been opened and flattened for a prolonged amount of time and though the pages are well attached, they did look like you might be capable to tear a page loose if you flip the page too hard or fast. It is nevertheless the same with the other big format LV books in the store made by dissimilar publishers. I believe this is just the way they make huge format books with nice thick shiny papers. As long as you don’t press the book open, you will never have to worry in regards to binding issues.
