Buy or Cry - Luxury for your pocket: The book of fine things!

Luxury for your pocket: The book of fine things!

Who says luxury always has to be expensive? The “Encyclopedia of the Exquisite – A Little History of the Joy of the Exquisite” by Jessica Kerwin Jenkins is proof that true sophistication can be found between two book covers - and without any credit card limits! This hardback masterpiece from Ars Vivendi is not just a book, but a declaration of love for the beautiful, the rare and the sometimes wonderfully superfluous.

On 322 pages, the book takes its readers on a journey through the world of the exquisite: from champagne breakfasts to handmade fountain pens, from royal baths to the little joys of everyday life that just make life a little more chic.

Jessica Kerwin Jenkins knows how to show with a wink and a touch of irony that luxury doesn't always have to be made of gold - sometimes a perfectly brewed tea or a walk in silk stockings is enough.

This book is the perfect gift for everyone who loves something special, but also for those who like to treat themselves to something - be it new knowledge about the history of champagne or simply a few minutes of reading pleasure at the highest level.

Whether as a stylish coffee table book, as a source of inspiration for the next extravagant evening or as a charming escape from everyday life: The “Encyclopedia of the Exquisite” turns every day into a small celebration.

So, treat yourself to a piece of luxury – without a guilty conscience and with lots of reading fun!

Note: Reading this can lead to spontaneous bursts of joy in life and a sudden desire for silk handkerchiefs.
