Download or read book In the Spirit of Beverly Hills written by Nancie Clare and published by Editions Assouline. This book was released on 2013 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assouline began with an idea and a belief: the first, a notion that beauty, perfected, has meaning that is capable of transforming our lives; and the second, that a book--artfully crafted and highly considered in its visual content--can open our eyes and minds. With our first book, La Colombe d'Or, we sought to convey the experience of a small hotel in the south of France, a tiny, sublime world of art, history, luxury, and inspiration unto itself. Over time, that world has been expanded to create a universe that is anchored by our books but no longer limited to paper and pages.
