The Cheapest Way to Build Your Coffee Table Book Collection

I've always been a bit of a book hoarder, but recently, my stack of coffee table books alone has begun to rival my collection of novels, biographies, and memoirs. And while the internet often makes it seem like you can't purchase a gorgeous design manual or two without spending the equivalent of a week's worth of groceries, that certainly isn't the case. I'm letting you in on my little money-saving trick: shopping for coffee table books used off of Amazon.

First things first: coffee table books are everywhere. The sheer number of titles available can be somewhat overwhelming—just when I think I've heard of every must-have design book, a new one is released and instantly becomes a hit.

Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...

Incandescent indie, reflective hip-hop, jangly post-punk and more genre-bending tunes from the week Juletta + Ishan: Gut Feeling Juletta + Ishan’s “Gut Feeling” is best described through its beautiful contradictions: haunting and luminescent, smooth and uneasy, buoyant and weighty. Written and produced by both artists, the track appears on the NYC-based duo’s debut album, If I Never Hit Land (out this Friday), which is based … COOL HUNTING® https://ift.tt/35p5Vqj October 18, 2020 at 01:03PM

House music for those missing the sweaty dance floor, psych-tinged lounge, industrial electro-pop and more new music Solomun: Home From Hamburg-based DJ and producer Solomun (aka Mladen Solomun), sweeping house track “Home” exists as an ode to the “sacred rooms” that were built for music.
