The Taschen sale is back with beautiful coffee table books up to 75 percent off

Luxury art book publisher Taschen is hosting its annual mega sale, offering an impressive selection of art books at discounts ranging from 25 to 75 percent off. This sale is a must-see for any art lover, as it allows for the purchase of high-quality books that typically come with a hefty price tag. Among the featured titles is Paleoart: Visions of the Prehistoric Past, a stunning collection of prehistoric creature artwork spanning from the early 19th century to modern digital era.

The book showcases various interpretations of dinosaurs, their musculature, soft tissues, and colors based on limited fossil evidence. For urban dwellers, Homes For Our Time provides ideas for maximising small spaces through beautiful, innovative designs. Additionally, What Great Paintings Say offers an in-depth look at various renowned artworks, their historical significance, and subtle messages that may not be immediately apparent.

Fans of Greek mythology can indulge in Taschen's Greek Myths, featuring captivating illustrations alongside tales of famous heroes such as Heracles, Jason, Perseus, and Odysseus. The sale also includes The Gourmand's Egg, a mouth-watering book that explores the confluence of food and art through recipes, stories, and illustrations centered around the humble egg.

Lastly, Taschen’s Greek Myths is perfect for those who enjoyed Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, offering further adventures in mythological storytelling. The Taschen sale takes place from September 3 to 6, both online and at their physical store in Tai Kwun. For those who prefer to examine the books firsthand, an exclusive early shopping day reserved for in-store purchases will occur on September 2.

Some of the available items include display copies, overstock, or books with minor damage, but at these exceptional prices, it is difficult to resist. Stay updated by signing up for Time Out Hong Kong's free newsletter to receive the best of the city delivered straight to your inbox.
