Shell Chic: The Ultimate Guide to Decorating Your Home With Seashells by Marlene Hurley Marshall, ISBN 158017440X

Lucky Sea Bean, Purple Unicorn, Pink Scallop Moon, Crab's Eyes, Yellow Landsnail, Pearly Nautilus -- splendid names for natural works of art that have captured the imaginations of artists, architects, society collectors, and beach worshipers for centuries. In 18th-century England, shell mania knew no limits. Country estates were outfitted with grottoes, where every surface was covered with intricate layers and patterns of shells. Later, throughout much of the 19th century, shell-encrusted furniture was displayed in upper-class homes, and sailors' valentines were brought from Barbados to waiting sweethearts. In the 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright was greatly influenced by a univalve design while working on plans for the Guggenheim Museum. "Certainly, " said Wright, "Divinity is manifest here in these shells in their humble form of life, such greatness with such simplicity."

Americana: And Other Poems by John Updike, ISBN 0375412549

John Updike's first collection of verse since his "Collected Poems, 1953-1993 brings together fifty-eight poems, three of them of considerable length. The four sections take up, in order: America, its cities and airplanes; the poet's life, his childhood, birthdays, and ailments; foreign travel, to Europe and the tropics; and, beginning with the long "Song of Myself," daily life, its furniture and consolations. There is little of the light verse with which Mr. Updike began his writing career nearly fifty years ago, but a light touch can be felt in his nimble manipulation of the ghosts of metric order, in his caressing of the living textures of things, and in his reluctance to wave goodbye to it all.

Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the Eighteenth Century

During the reings of Louis XV (1723-74) and Louis XVI (1774-92), fashion and furniture were not meant simply to be beautiful but were also intended to arouse, attract, and seduce. Published in response to the critically acclaimed and hugely popular exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum in the fall of 2004, "Dangerous Liaisons Will focus on fashion and its interplay with the art, furniture, and decorative arts of eighteenth-century France. Featuring beautiful color photographs of the exhibition's installation, details of the garments, and supplementary historical material, the book demonstrates how the extravagant clothing of the period reiterated the splendor of Rococo and Neoclassical interiors. Either as as souvenir of the Museum's exhibition or as a fascinating survey of eighteenth-century French fashion, decorative arts, history, and culture, "Dangerous Haisons is an essential book to own.
