Franco Pepe: Pizza Chef
Located in New York, NY
The story, ideology, and recipes of master pizzaiolo Franco Pepe, founder of the world-famous Pizzeria Pepe in Grani
Franco Pepe is no ordinary pizzaiolo – he’s a culinary genius who has revolutionized the world of pizza. Born into a family of bakers, Pepe mastered the craft of traditional pizza-making before dedicating himself to experimentation with ancient flour blends and fermentation methods. He founded his restaurant, Pepe in Grani, in Caiazzo, near Naples, and quickly gained worldwide acclaim, attracting hordes of food-savvy travelers with exceptional pizzas made with his unique signature dough and high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
Franco Pepe: Pizza Chef reveals how Pepe elevated the humble pizza to new culinary heights. Packed with rich storytelling and vivid photographs, the cookbook uncovers the secrets behind Pepe’s artistry and presents 30 exclusive recipes designed for home cooks.
Beginning with the simple, rustic Pizza a Libretto, the recipe collection ranges from La Ritrovata, a nostalgic homage to Pepe’s father’s pizza marinara, and Memento, a plant-based pizza featuring chickpea cream, to the sweet and savory Crisommola del Vesuvio, inspired by Franco’s desire to use rare local apricots, and Sensazione di Costiera, which brings together the citrus scents and seafood flavors of the Amalfi Coast. Together, the recipes reveal Pepe’s passion for high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and the delicate balance of flavors that make his pizzas so exceptional.
The book also features forewords by food writer Faith Willinger, chef and author Nancy Silverton, and food writer and pizza aficionado Daniel Young.

Graphic Classics
Located in New York, NY
Discover 500 of the world’s greatest graphic designs in one big, bold, and brilliant volume
This deep dive into graphic design history presents the work of more than 400 designers across 33 countries and 5 continents, with work dating back to the 14th century.
Reimagined from the Phaidon best-seller Graphic: 500 Designs that Matter, the book’s dizzying array of designs range from the Gutenberg Bible to Joy Division album art, with work by both anonymous creators and industry icons such as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Paul Rand, Paula Scher, Ahn Sang-soo, and Julia Born.
The generous format and two-part design structure allows designs to be shown in detail, with large images up front and a 300+ word text for each entry in the back – making this equal parts picture and reading book. A design category key adds functionality while indicating the sheer variety of disciplines at work within one medium, from advertising and information design to posters, books, magazines, and logos.
This book is the perfect reference guide for design and art lovers, enthusiasts, and professionals at any stage of their careers, as well as all those interested in and impacted by visual communication.
Carefully revised to bring every detail up to date, organized chronologically, and with the addition of 50 new examples that highlight designers reshaping the graphic culture of today, this collection is more comprehensive, compelling – and relevant – than ever before.
Featured designers include: Reza Abedini, Otl Aicher, Herbert Bayer, Max Bill, Laurenz Brunner, A. M. Cassandre, Joseph Churchward, Alan Fletcher, Federica Fragapane, Graphic Thought Facility, Béla Horovitz, Eric Hu, Shira Inbar, Tibor Kalman, Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., Frith Kerr and Amelia Noble, Anita Klinz, El Lissitzky, George Lois, Karel Martens, Bruno Munari, Nontsikelelo Mutiti, Hassan Rahim, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Stefan Sagmeister, Koichi Sato...

Maximalism: Bold, Bedazzled, Gold, and Tasseled Interiors
By Phaidon
Located in New York, NY
A decadent and extravagant celebration of interior style, featuring more than 220 maximalist residential interiors, from the 1600s to the present day
This unique visual collection celebrates the very best contemporary Maximalist interior design and makes the connection to a much longer historical tradition of excess. Maximalism is a style that has been with us, in one guise or another – for example, in the castles, palazzi, chateaux, and historic homes of bygone ages – for more than 400 years. This richly illustrated volume, with metallic gold ink used throughout, features the most extraordinary Maximalist interiors from all over the globe, from centuries past and present, transcending both time and geography. An intense and thrilling journey through the magic and mayhem that is Maximalism – a book that is as much an experience as it is a book – its luxurious pages are layered, loud, and louche, chaotic, colorful, and controversial, but also romantic, joyous, and imbued with personality, history, and storytelling.
Featured designers include Jonathan Adler, Alidad, Sig Bergamin, Thomas Britt, Denning and...
