  • Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury
Format: Hardcover
The book pictured is the more exspensive leather bound with an actual leather handle.That is what I thought I had ordered. Recieved the less exspensive version with the photographed glossy cover of a leather bound book and handle. The inside first cover attached page was a little torn and hard cover a little beat up..the book was shipped in a padded envelope which was torn so bad all the cotton padding was coming out and was all over the book. Frankly I dont know how it even stayed in the envelope----other than that... the book itself is amazing if you love Louis Vuitton--the history alone is so informative---lots of color photography---over 600pages of fun entertainment--I kept it, for $83.00 it was worth that--plus If I sent it back--who knows the next one might be in worse condition. ... show more

  • Excellent History of the Vuitton Empire
Format: Hardcover
If you are a Louis Vuitton collector as I am, or LV enthusiast, this tome will be a magnificent addition to your collection, or to your library. It is full of remarkable LV family history and full of the most beautiful photographs, some suitable for framing. It contains manyo of the LV Posters for example, that I've tried to collect, and now have them in this book. It could make a wonderful coffee table book this holiday season. One drawback: The center page is wonderful but terribly flawed by the center binding. It should have been a pull-out page instead. I also saw it on eBay for more dollars and listed as "rare". Hardly! Enjoy it. ... show more

  • Gorgeous!!!
Format: Hardcover
This is an extraordinary coffee table book! The presentation that includes a historical overview on the founder and his life, including his business venture and unmatched success. It includes beautiful, quality photography that spans across the century. I look forward to slowly discovering every single page! ... show more

  • Exactimo Louis Vuitton
Format: Hardcover
This book has it all: a history lesson, an understanding and the very essence of Louis Vuitton style. The author clearly lives and understands LV. This book is a guide to understanding LV the family and the brand. This book is riveting and mind opening. LV is not just an expense bag or luggage. It is an adventure and is for the adventurous. I love this book. ... show more

  • Sure you'll look at it -- once. Maybe.
Format: Hardcover
Here's a fluff-puff coffee table book of passing interest to Vuitton fanatics; nothing about it makes for a wider audience. Yet I bet even the most devoted collector will only glance through it a couple times and put it aside. (And no, the book -- at least my version -- does NOT have an actual Vuitton handle bolted to the cover.) ... show more

  • If you love Louis...
Format: Hardcover
If you are looking for the definitive Louis Vuitton book....this is it. I have most of them, and this is by far the best. It is the most comprehensive, and the best put together of the bunch. I highly recommend it.

  • a must for all LV lovers
Format: Hardcover
The most comprehensive Louis Vuitton compendium I have come across - fabulous beyond words! Well researched & written, informative, artfully photographed - altogether a beautiful, beautiful histoire.

  • Inaccurate description of book no leather handle
Format: Hardcover
The description says that this book has an actual leather handle on the top and is vintage and it does not have the leather handle. This book is just like the less expensive updated version that is listed for $86.00.
