The Best Coffee Table Books from Taschen’s Winter Sale—Starting at Just $15
Don't judge a book by its cover. Unless, of course, that book is from Taschen, in which case you can rest assured that the contents are just as pleasing as its cover. Artful and tasteful, Taschen’s coffee table books are a home decor staple that you will keep for years to come. So when the renowned publisher has a sale, you better snatch one up immediately.
How often does Taschen have sales?
Taschen sales happen twice a year, once in the winter and once in the summer, which makes this a rare literary and visual opportunity you should capitalize on. Selling display copies for up to 75 percent off, the publisher’s iconic art and coffee table books are severely discounted. That coveted Annie Leibovitz edition you’ve been eyeing? Don’t wait any longer to finally scoop it up.
If you aren’t familiar with Taschen, it’s been a company of cultural archaeologists since 1980. Its eclectic publishing offers a range of affordable art to highly collectable books. Plus, every Taschen book plants a seed: For more than 10 years, it has been a carbon neutral publisher through its ecological partnership with a reforestation program. Eco-conscious and aesthetically pleasing? Yeah, you might need to pick up a few copies.
The sale lasts only until Sunday, February 5, so you’ll want to act fast. It’s also a great chance to find a top-tier gift. Here are the best picks of Taschen’s winter sale to start skimming now.
