Whether it’s a snowy trek through Bohemia’s remote Jizera Mountains or a cruise across the Great Lakes on a cargo ship, the journey itself is the destination in the Road, Rail & Trail volume of TASCHEN’s Explorer series with The New York Times.
Follow Virginia Woolf’s footsteps as you explore gardens in the English countryside with Francine Prose. Marvel at India’s vibrant bird life with Somini Sengupta. Or sit back and watch Siberia’s moonlit forests and Soviet-era relics zip by from the comfort of a train with Finn-Olaf Jones. The Times writers are your guides through 25 dream trips, and the wealth of color photographs that accompany their writing capture the beauty and unique spirit of both far-flung and familiar locales.
The Explorer series takes travel beyond the obvious with adventures in exotic places and new perspectives in familiar ones, all based on the distinguished travel journalism from The New York Times. Each journey features a first-person narrative and postcard-perfect photography that capture the unique personality of the destination—as well as practical information to help get you on your way. Edited by Barbara Ireland, whose 36 Hours travel series has been a TASCHEN best seller, the Explorer series is available in four volumes: Beaches, Islands & Coasts; Mountains, Deserts & Plains; Cities & Towns; and Road, Rail & Trail.

With all the technology that we live with every day, there is something to be said about curling up with a good book. Before television, movies, and the internet, books have been hand-crafted by artisans and illustrators, and with the invention of the printing press, have made art and artists available to the public since the late 19th century.
Famous art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard (1866 – 1939) was deeply committed to the production of artists’ books and created several limited edition volumes that are still sought after today. A livre d’artiste, or artist’s book, is a work of art in the form of a book, often created to illustrate a literary work. The limited edition book would be published with the accompanying loose prints, often contained in a case or linen box. During the 1900’s, Europe’s well known artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Miró, and Chagall, collaborated with the most important publishers in Paris to create lavishly printed limited edition books based on great works of literature, reaching all the way back to the second century. Andre Suares, a well-known publisher of the last century said of Vollard’s artists’ books; “Books like these have never been done before and will never be done again.” And we feel the same of the offerings from Taschen.
In keeping with the tradition of book collecting, ÆRENA Galleries and Gardens is pleased to present a selection of collectable limited edition books by the world renown publisher Taschen, including their line of highly desired and signed SUMO books that include: Annie Leibovitz, The Rolling Stones, David Hockney, Sebastiao Salgado’s Genesis, and a very limited number of the sold out James Bond Archives. “No Time To Die”.
Most are available to ship immediately. Please allow 3 to 6 weeks for ordered books.
