Beloved hucksters of beautiful photo tomes Rizzoli just opened a new spot in NYC. To help set the table, we picked out five of our favorites. Have a look and pick one (or all) up. They’re a stamp on your character.
The Forgotten Fifties
Culled from the pages of Look, the definitive glossy of the era, this striking yet endearing photo compilation features subjects from JFK and UFOs to the Bunny Hop and, of course, bikinis.

Dream Cars
In short, the best in show. Every drool-inducing heavy-metal silhouette envisioned with comprehensive descriptions and illustrations from the expert men who built the machines. A guide for the coffee table and for fueling the imagination.
