One of a new series of authoritative guides teNeues is introducing this season, Cool Shops New York takes the reader on a tour of the best stores and boutiques in this dynamic world city. Each shop included is distinguished by more than the products it sells. The editors also highlight exemplary architecture and interior design (the Jean Paul Gaultier store designed by Philippe Starck, the Issey Miyake store in Tribeca designed by Frank Gehry, the Apple store in Soho designed by Bohlin Erwin Ski Jackson) with lavish color photographs and emphasize as well the appeal of smaller, one-of-a-kind shops. Attractively designed to fit into any handbag, backpack, or briefcase, this book includes a site map for easy use and is sure to be a must-have for shopaholics everywhere!
