Kraft, Alexander V. G. Living in Luxury (0500514178)
This is undoubtedly the most luxurious book of the year: an insider's look into the spectacularly opulent world of glamorous real estate. It features twenty fabulous residences, from French country house to downtown New York loft and London pied-a-terre, from Moroccan oasis to Florida oceanfront estate and Bahamian island home. Every amenity is covered - home gyms, en-suites, temperature-controlled libraries, tennis courts, swimming pools... Offering substance as well as unbelievable style, a lively and informative introduction gives the historical background to the development of the luxury real-estate market, while an extensive property guide spells out the do's and don'ts of investing in luxury property. Complete with a foreword by Donald J. Trump and an afterword by Henriette von Bohlen und Halbach, this is an unforgettable look at a jawdropping world.
