The great Horst P. Horst and Diana Vreeland collaboration Vogue’s Book of Houses, Gardens, People is one of the most coveted books about interiors. It is a collection of stories and photographs that originally appeared in Vogue. This book is something of an English counterpart on a lesser scale, featuring homes depicted in British Vogue. The contributors include Derry Moore, Lord Snowdon, Christopher Simon Sykes, Bruce Chatwin, and Lesley Blanch. The homes featured include those of Duncan Grant (Charleston House), David Hockney, the Devonshires, Nicholas Haslam, Manolo Blahnik, and many others.

“Style and taste are like perfect manners; they cannot be taught but they can be copied, dealing as they do with insight and the intuition that transforms the good into the rare.”
