style & substance; The season's best gift books will smarten up any coffee table.
Byline: Leslie Camhi
For three decades, while photographing women of unearthly beauty in exotic locations, Vogue's Arthur Elgort has stolen sly shots of people clutching cameras-everyone from supermodels and paparazzi to Chinese tourists and his own children. Camera Crazy (Steidl/Edition 7L) is his tribute to our snap-happy society-at once a whimsical insider's view of fashion and a love story between a man and his medium.
Vogue contributor Craig McDean is best known for his iconic photographs of pop idols. But the digitally produced photo collages in Lifescapes (Steidl/Dangin) give us glimpses of his imaginative geography-a spectacularly cool world where motorcycles grow from bikers' heads and a gigantic bather (the artist's wife) wades beside a Brazilian high-rise.
Photographer, world traveler, and raconteur extraordinaire, Peter Beard first went to Africa in the fifties, when rhinoceroses still roamed the streets of Nairobi. Zara's Tales (Knopf), his collected stories of a vanishing era, is dedicated to his young daughter, who appears hugging a 300-pound warthog-a family pet-on the book's cover. Crammed with Beard's photographs and fanciful paintings, rife with memories of man-eating lions, this magical volume will bring out the child in everyone.
If you're looking for a children's book laced with adult wit and flair, Michael Roberts's Snowman in Paradise (Chronicle Books) overflows with both. " 'Twas the week after Christmas," this irreverent verse epic begins, as a downtown Manhattan snowman sets off on a tropical vacation. And the exuberantly colorful paper cutout illustrations will charm readers of all ages, from cocktail hour to bedtime.
Former nightclub impresario Serena Bass has ideas for your cocktail hour-and for every other moment of your day. In Serena, Food & Stories (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), the British-born author and Manhattan-based caterer serves up an engaging memoir alongside delectable recipes and tips to make entertaining a warmly eccentric way of life.
