During her career, Paris-based Anne Boulay has shaped the conversation around French style and culture. In 2013, she became the founding editor in chief of Vanity Fair France, bringing the magazine’s signature blend of reportage and glamour to a new audience. Before that, she led GQ France as editor in chief, forging a distinctly French point of view on modern masculinity. Earlier in her career, Boulay oversaw the style pages at Libération for almost a decade, refining an editorial voice that was equal parts sharp and generous.


Born in 1962, Harald Gottschalk discovered photography at a young age and never looked back. After finishing school, he had a chance encounter with the legendary Robert Doisneau, setting him on the path to realizing his lifelong dream. Over the course of his career, Gottschalk has presented more than sixty solo and group exhibitions across France and abroad, including at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Mois de la Photo, FIAC, Art Paris, the Salon d’Automne, and Paris Photo. Gottschalk has collaborated with Cartier, Rolex, Joël Robuchon, and Assouline, bringing his signature elegance and technical mastery to every project.

This French concept embodies the art of knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. At Assouline, savoir-faire defines every creation: from the artistry of our covers to the meticulous detailing of our Ultimate Collection and the precision of every page. Each title is a journey of craftsmanship, from concept to creation, guided by our creative team and brought to life with the highest standards of design, photography, and production. Every book reflects the dedication, care, and expertise that turn an idea into a lasting work of art.

  • Handle with Clean, Dry Hands: Always use clean, dry hands when handling your book to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover. 
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration of the cover and pages. 
  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Humidity and moisture can damage both the paper and binding. Store books upright on a flat surface, away from heat sources. 
  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to gently remove dust from the cover and page edges. 
  • Use Caution When Opening: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, as this may damage the binding. 
  • Keep Away from Liquids and Food: Avoid placing books near food or beverages to prevent spills and stains.
