| | | | Spring 2019 Featured Gift BooksYou want to give the most sophisticated gift. No, the cutest. Wait, no—the one that will most amaze and delight the one you love (or want to impress) the most. And yet, all around, you see disposable, infinitely forgettable junk. Well look no further. A book is a gift for life. Scroll through some of our favorites for the Spring 2019 season, from the eminently giftable "Landscape Painting Now" to the official 50th anniversary book on Woodstock, authored by the festival's organizer, Michael Lang. This season, we have several books on the occult and magic; new books of photography by Phyllis Galembo, William Klein and Martin Parr; several books on midcentury Danish design; a "Cookbook of Invisible Writing" alongside Dorothy Iannone's famous 1969 cookbook; art monographs on Margaret Kilgallen, Sister Corita Kent and Beatriz Milhazes, and so much more!
