Style: Words For The Wise
Looking for a unique graduation present? Asprey, the British lifestyle emporium, sells rare books alongside its collection of luxury goods. The current stock of 1,500 volumes in the Manhattan store includes a first edition of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and a complete first-edition collection of Jane Austen's novels. Churchill is a hit at Asprey. One client bought a Churchill book for George H.W. Bush, and another purchased an inscribed copy of Churchill's secret-sessions speeches for Bill Clinton. There's also a first edition of Darwin's The Origin of Species for the straight-A student in your life.
