Worthy of Mention

On Thursday, January 29 at 15:00 in Paris, a Christian Dior Masterpieces sale from the Mouna Ayoub Haute Couture Collection.

Some bookstores bring out the same hunting instinct I have at flea markets. For moments like these, I keep a mental list of books I’d like to own in their first-edition format, hoping to find a bargain on the shelves. It’s never a quick find, it can take years even, but there’s something about the unexpected moment when it happens that surpasses the feeling of buying it any other way. Mind you, it’s as rare for me to covet a first edition as it is for me to want a table or a chair, I’m an extremely cautious buyer. I like to buy things once, own things that will last me a lifetime. For the last sixteen years I’ve been looking for a coffee table. I still haven’t found one, I still don’t own one. All this is to say that books on auction are now joining the round-up.

Auction Highlights

First Edition Books: An auction of rare books and first editions that includes The Apocrypha, Samuel Beckett, William Faulkner, Harper Lee, and Joan Didion. In New York at Doyle Auctioneers on November 25, 2025 at 4:00pm.

While I was looking through the hundreds of auctions this week, I thought I wasn’t finding anything special. Then I landed on this Michael Schmidt edition and I took it all back. The choices this week are subtle and it’s in their nuance that we find so much beauty.

Auction Highlights

1. French Cookbooks: An entire sale dedicated to vintage cookbooks. I’m very bad in the kitchen, but I’ve heard from people who are good at it that in the old cookbooks is where we find the best recipes (I picked my favorite covers). In Central France at Hôtel des Ventes Giraudeau on October 30, 2025 at 14:00.
