The Introduction is written by Julie Satow, the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling “When Women Ran Fifth Avenue: Glamour and Power at the Dawn of American Fashion”, named an Amazon Best Book of 2024, a Best Book of 2024 by the Financial Times, and a Cosmopolitan Best Nonfiction Book of 2024.

THE ART OF LUXURY BOOKMAKING
Since its beginnings in 1994, Assouline has been dedicated to creating books that are as informational as they are beautiful works of art. The respect for the product and the process of creation is evident in every facet – the traditional technique of hand-binding covers, the imagery that transports the reader to another place and time, the luxurious thickness of each page.

Designed by Alex Assouline, the luxe stand, with an engraved Assouline A logo centered on both panels, comes in black, red, or clear acrylic.
