Wedding, Graduation, Father’s Day, Anniversary
June’s like Christmas, just without snow — every time I turn around, I owe someone a present. Music and Movies are too….small. Books make sense to me. Here’s a selection, suitable for mixing and matching. And maybe even reading.
For the style-obsessed
The Power of Style profiles 20th century women who transformed themselves — with a nod to rich, besotted men — into icons of style. With many photographs, most rarely seen.
Food for thought
My Life in France is Julia Child’s final book, a memoir cobbled together from notes and letters. It’s much more. She made something out of nothing, transforming herself and our culture.
