MAN MADE

Cool coffee-table books spark conversation with limited editions that are coveted collectibles.

Coffee-table books show a man’s taste, while also elevating home and
boat décor. Some of the latest titles profile great men, knockout sports,
body ink, and adventure travel. Check out Trillionaire’s recommended
coffee-table books. Limited editions up the ante.

MATTHEW WEINER’S MAD MEN (Taschen, $200). Alpha male, the
dapper Don Draper, is only part of the appeal of the landmark cable show
Mad Men. The two-volume, slipcase collectible has photographs, key script
excerpts, and interviews with the show’s creator, producer, director, and
costume designer. Get inspired to live like a “mad man.”
GOAT (Taschen, Champ’s Edition, $15,000). In the wake of Muhammad Ali’s death in
June — and coinciding with an exhibit at Taschen Gallery, Los Angeles, through the end of
August that features a tribute to Ali — this edition is signed by “The Greatest of All
Time.” The edition also contains four gelatin silver prints signed by photographer
Howard L. Bingham and Ali.
THE ART OF SAILING (Assouline, $845). Although not a new book, it’s worth
mentioning for the sheer beauty of its photography. Since 1888, Alfred Edward
Beken and his family have captured images of boats on the Isle of Wight in England,
famed for its International Sailing Regatta. The book includes on-deck crew portraits,
action shots, and stills. Quotes on seafaring from powerful and literate men,
such as Mark Twain and President John F. Kennedy, complete the collection.
BEYOND SKIN (teNeues, $4,500). Ed Hardy is known for bringing the art of
tattooing into the mainstream domain. For those who view “tats” as a fashion
statement, Hardy’s iconic work over the last four decades has been integrated
into places and things. The publisher describes the book as a scintillating overview of an
artist who has tapped the pulse of our time. The collector’s edition features a portfolio with
a signed and numbered lithographic print.
SOUTH POLE (Assouline, $4,500). An over-sized tome about the British
Antarctic expedition of 1910 to 1913, the luxury hand-bound edition is the
first waterproof book ever created. The 150 copies of the limited edition have
a foreword signed by Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Anne of Great Britain.
Put the book on ice for a party conversation starter.
SURFING, 1778-2015 (Taschen, $200). Celebrating the
sport on and off the water in culture, including film, art, and
fashion — plus the philosophy of surfing — the book took three-and-a-half
years to research. Over 900 images chart the global phenomenon. A perfect
read for out at sea and as decoration in a yacht stateroom. TM
