Nicola Chilton is a writer and creative communications strategist based in the Gulf, where she has lived for more than a decade covering the travel, culture, and heritage of the GCC. She is a contributing editor at Condé Nast Traveller Middle East, for which she wrote the magazine’s Doha travel guide, and her work has appeared in Time, Monocle, Wallpaper*, Departures, Afar, The Times, Centurion, Sleeper, Hadara, British Airways High Life, Four Seasons Magazine, and the U.K. and U.S. editions of Condé Nast Traveller. Before settling in the region, she was an international journalist, her work taking her through the United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, a succession of homes that taught her to read a city from the inside rather than from above.

This French concept embodies the art of knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. At Assouline, savoir-faire defines every creation: from the artistry of our covers to the meticulous detailing of our Ultimate Collection and the precision of every page. Each title is a journey of craftsmanship, from concept to creation, guided by our creative team and brought to life with the highest standards of design, photography, and production. Every book reflects the dedication, care, and expertise that turn an idea into a lasting work of art.

  • Handle with Clean, Dry Hands: Always use clean, dry hands when handling your book to avoid transferring oils, dirt, or liquids onto the pages and cover.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration of the cover and pages, or melt or warp the binding, compromising the book's integrity.
  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place on a Low, Secure Shelf: Humidity and moisture can damage the paper and melt or warp the binding. Store books upright and closed on a flat surface, away from heat sources. Heavy books placed precariously on high shelves or surfaces may cause injury. Do not use as a storage surface.
  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to gently remove dust from the cover and page edges.
  • Use Caution When Opening: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, as this may damage the binding.
  • Keep Away from Liquids and Food: Avoid placing books near food or beverages to prevent spills and stains.
  • Keep Away from Children and Pets: Large books are heavy and unwieldy and may cause injury.
  • Keep Away from Sharp Objects: Sharp objects can damage the cover and pages.
