The epitome of coffee table books or decoration books to put on the table is the publishing house Taschen. Its large-format books, usually dedicated to art, photography, fashion or architecture, are discounted by up to 75% at its Madrid store from September 4 to 7.
This picturesque bookstore, located at Calle Barquillo 30, where there used to be a haberdashery, has become a reference point for collectors and lovers of colorful volumes that look like authentic pieces of decoration in themselves.
Taschen sale lasts a weekend
The promotion covers iconic titles on art, photography, fashion, architecture, film, pop culture and design, including limited editions, best sellers and, also, exhibition and sample books that can be purchased at much lower prices than usual. The Taschen catalog is renowned for the quality of its images, papers, printing and binding.
Many discounted copies can be found only once a year at this event, which has established itself as an essential date for the publishing sector and all those who wish to expand their library with reference works. In fact, there is often a queue to get into the store on sale days.
Taschen’s discounts will only be available while stocks last, although they may be extended in the online store, if indicated on their website during these days. For those who want to buy luxury books without spending a fortune, this is the best time: works that exceed 100 euros at prices from 25 euros, large format editions discounted and, ultimately, a unique opportunity to give or collect visual culture at the best price.
