TOKYO CHIC

From captivating movies and novels to avant-garde fashion and refined cuisine, Tokyo has been a source of inspiration for generations. Celebrating the beauty of everything the city has to offer, this edition is testament to the beauty of the Japanese capital and pays tribute to its eye-catching architecture, sought-after food scene and unmatched sense of style.

Narrated and imagined by photographer and author Andrea Fazzari, this volume is the latest addition to Assouline’s signature Chic Series. A Tokyo resident for years, she takes all travel enthusiasts on an imaginary itinerary through the city’s eclectic neighborhoods, making us discover new and unexpected personalities along the way thanks to exclusive tips and testimonies.

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
