Taschen - Paris Shopping

This store is a Germany-based publishing house that's known for coffee-table books. Erudite, high-profile, and glossy, most of them focus on architecture, art, photography, or eroticism. If you're in the market for a sweeping overview of the organization's past projects, this is the store for you. It is one of only two retail outlets in the world solely devoted to Taschen products (the other is in Cologne). Prices range from 7€ ($9.10) for a simple but provocative paperback to 5,000€ ($6,500) for a blockbuster collection of fashion photographs focusing on the best works of Helmut Newton. Open Tuesday to Saturday 11am to 7pm.
