Special Editions

The Art of the Limited Edition

From The Impossible Collection of Wine to landmark tomes on basketball and design, these special edition books are conceived as objets d’art. Hand-binding, hand-tipped plates on art-quality paper, metal or rubber-adorned clamshells, mounted title plaques, and leather-lined cases reflect a rigorous making process. Ultimate editions arrive with white gloves and a signature canvas tote, underscoring the care each volume invites.

Signature Collaborations & Cultural Moments

Assouline’s book special editions often emerge from close collaborations: The Book of HOV, chronicling JAY-Z’s cultural reach; Air Jordan: a tribute crafted with Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand; and AlUla, uniting Robert Polidori’s photography with Ignasi Monreal’s illustrations. These special edition coffee table books gather archival materials, rare imagery, and authoritative essays to honor icons, innovations, and places that shaped modern culture.

For Collectors, Connoisseurs, and Gift-Givers

Whether you’re seeking author signed books, or finely produced editions for a discerning library, these coffee table books offer rarity with purpose. Ideal gifts for collectors, these limited runs, numbered copies, and bespoke finishes make meaningful gifts and heirloom additions.
