A Sixty-Dollar Volume Veranda's Editors Are Wrapping This Year

The price is on the record, and it is modest by the standards of the shelter world: sixty dollars, ordered from Amazon. For that sum, Veranda's editors say they are giving one large-format design book to the people in their lives who care about rooms, houses and the objects that fill them. They have been buying it in multiples ahead of the gift-giving weeks, which is about as strong an endorsement as a magazine's staff can offer a single title. For a reader with a long December list and a short budget, it is a rare case where the best-informed people in the field and the most accessible shop in the country point to the same thing.
