About the Item
Geniale Amerique (Great America), French book by Editions PML, 1988.
America is a rich and immense land of incredible beauty, sometimes still primitive; a complex continent in complete evolution, but whose soul remains essentially American.
Only an exhaustive study could fully capture the spirit of America, a melting pot of diverse populations and changing landscapes, and the multiple facets of its cultural heritage. Geniale Amerique is a book illustrated with more than four hundred color, vibrant, and evocative photographs; the text is poetic and informative, spiced with exciting tales or legends and humorous anecdotes.
The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, the fabulous Disneyland of Florida, and the Statue of Liberty are the most frequent and famous tourist places. But this vast and diverse continent contains many other magical places whose magnificence and glamor surprise the amazed visitor, stimulate their imagination, and pique their curiosity. Such places would still be secret gems if Geniale Amerique had not unearthed them.
The delicate palette of pastel colors of the Arizona deserts, the dazzling winter mornings of the Midwest, the labyrinth of the swamps of the Florida Everglades, or even a small farm nestled in the gentle hills of Vermont, the smiling faces of young Hawaiian beauties and their welcome "aloha," the Eskimos of Alaska snuggled in their furs, the ghost towns of the Wild West, the crazy streets of New York, everything comes alive with the breath of life exhaled by Geniale Amerique.
In this book, the United States is portrayed in a fascinating and captivating way. This is an extraordinary work worthy of its subject.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.

- 1925 The Memory Years, French Book by Editions Larousse, 1988By Modern HistoryLocated in Atlanta, GA1925, Les Années-Mémoire (1925, The Memory Years), French book by Editions Larousse, 1988. Relive the year 1925 as if you were there. This volume will make you relive, with emotion, the facts and events of the interwar period. Because that year, in France, we hear everywhere humming, "When We Are Two, It's Not The Same Thing" by Maurice Chevalier. Street music and music hall contribute to a good mood. And yet, the economic situation is hardly smiling, and the French government knows many setbacks: in April, Edouard Herriot yields his place as president of the Council to Paul Painlevé, and in October, Aristide Briand, in his turn, replaces it. Inflation in Germany is still rife, and the mark value is almost zero. 1925 is also rich in artistic and sporting events. American crews completed the first circumnavigation of the globe by plane in 175 days. French actor Michel Simon is first seen in Marcel L'Herbier's film "Feu Mathias Pascal." Classical music is not to be outdone, Maurice Ravel composes Tzigane, and Honegger triumphs with his King David. A new phenomenon, sport fascinates more and more French people and attracts many followers. Our tennis players excel at Wimbledon while the All Blacks come to give us a rugby lesson. In Monaco, we happily celebrate Louis II...Category

- Billy Baldwin: The Great American Decorator by Adam Lewis (Book)Located in North Yorkshire, GBThe definitive book on the legendary decorator Billy Baldwin, known as the "Dean of American Decorating," famous for his classical taste, streamlined modernism, and brilliant use of colour. In the tradition of Rizzoli’s Albert Hadley and David Hicks, this is the first fully illustrated account of the career of Billy Baldwin (1903–1983), one of the most important decorators of the twentieth century, whose work has influenced contemporary designers from Bunny Williams to Jeffrey Bilhuber. A native of Baltimore, Baldwin’s work caught the eye of eminent New York decorator Ruby Ross Wood. She invited him to join her firm, saying his work stood out "like a beacon of light in the boredom of the houses around it." Baldwin’s style was a revelation—simultaneously classical and modernist, tailored and clean, yet dramatically coloured, and above all American. An enemy of clutter and conspicuous wealth, he favoured natural materials and comfortable furniture. The drama in his rooms often came from colour, as seen in the dark brown lacquered walls of Cole Porter’s library or the scarlet cotton print that covered Diana Vreeland’s apartment. Immensely charming, Baldwin was a popular addition to the high society of New York. His clients included Bill and Deeda Blair, Babe and Bill Paley...Category
