My parents gave me "Vanity Fair: The Portraits" this past Christmas. Vanity Fair is one of my favorite magazines, in part because of the gorgeous photography it always showcases. This book (which is pretty big and heavy) contains a century of the magazine's best images.
I love looking at the older photos, especially from the 1920's. It's interesting to see how some of those photos have influenced more contemporary art, photography and design. One of my favorite periods of design is Art Deco, which has influenced Vanity Fair. You can see the influences in the typography the magazine uses for its flag (and for the title of this book).
