Reference Book Dutch VOC History - Koopman in Azie - Merchant in Asia
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
Dutch Language, but easy to read with google translate on a phone. Since its founding in 1602, the Dutch East India Company has grown into the world’s largest trading company. The VOC dominated trade between Europe and Asia for two centuries. What is less known is that the Company built up an even more extensive trade network within Asia, stretching from Yemen to Japan. The VOC even partly financed European trade with proceeds in Asia. Yet the Asian VOC company has never been studied or described to its full extent. Koopman in Asia puts an end to that gap. Historian Els Jacobs takes the reader on an exciting trading journey past the VOC branches in Asia. Look over the shoulder of the merchant and discover how he bought and sold his products, how he dealt with Asian suppliers and customers, and what problems he had to overcome to make the VOC trade profitable. After all, after the 17th-century cannon boom had died down and the gunpowder fumes had cleared, money had to be made. The author chose an approach that is as surprising as it is innovative: not the usual division by region, but the four most important products - spices, Indian textiles, Chinese tea and Javanese coffee - form the starting point. This maps out for the first time how commercial activities within Asia are interrelated. The many new points of view and the countless carefully chosen illustrations - many of them unknown treasures from Dutch museum collections - make Koopman in Asia a colorful sketch...

Located in New York, NY
Author Timothy Corrigan, with Michael Boodro In his third book, AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer Corrigan shares the joys of decorating and living in his Paris apartment and new chateau infectiously inspiring us to design à la française. Having a nineteenth-century apartment in Paris steps from the Trocadero and Eiffel Tower is a dream. So is owning an eighteenth-century chateau in the French countryside known as the “Versailles of the fields.” Having both? That’s the dreamy escapism found in designer Corrigan’s new book, which will enchant Francophiles and design lovers alike with its rich trove of ideas for anyone wanting to decorate in a French-inspired style. In the first section of the book, Corrigan invites readers into his dazzling Paris apartment, walking them through the history of the building and his design plans, from the entryway through the salons, dining room, and bedrooms. In the second part, Corrigan shares his enduring love for French country homes. Traveling through his spectacular new château room by room, he tells the story of its purchase, restoration, and decoration. Layered throughout are insights and advice on topics ranging from antiquing in Paris, hanging art in the French style, hosting with panache, and exploring the French countryside. With gorgeous new photography commissioned for the book, this volume is a must for everyone who dreams of living in France and bringing French chic into their own lives.

Antique and Vintage Books

Antique and vintage books add a sense of culture and style to any room. Displaying these types of books in your living room or reading nook can warm a space with a distinguished feel.

Several factors make antique books highly desirable. Original jackets, ornate binding, illustrations and quality of the print all contribute to making a vintage book special. Rare books are of great interest to collectors in the know and can command high prices at auction. In 2021, an important early artist book by Andy Warhol sold at auction for more than $106,000. Somewhere between all the commercial work he did as an ambitious young graphic designer in the early 1950s and his first real debut as a Pop artist a decade later, Warhol produced a trove of incredibly charming drawings. His illustrated self-published artist books from the 1950s are very rare.

Many collectors seek the first edition of certain books. Fewer copies of a book and higher demand make it a rare find. A book that contains the author’s signature also makes it much more prized than other examples of the same title.

Collectors and designers decorate rooms with vintage books for a cozy feeling in a home. Coffee-table books, such as those featuring photography and design, serve as conversation pieces or offer a relaxing moment when leafed through.

Interior designers look for vintage books when they want to add color or detail. For instance, leather-bound books can create a scholarly air while mid-century titles offer a modern edge. Vintage international books or first editions can provide a sense of history.

No matter the genre, there is a book for you. You can find rare, one-of-a-kind antique books on 1stDibs. Browse by authors, like celebrated architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright and Edgar Rice Burroughs, as well as by period, including mid-century modern, Art Deco and Victorian.
