A trove of literary treasures is on offer at Christie’s forthcoming Fine Printed Books and Manuscripts sale in New York. Collectors will find an archive of unpublished J.D. Salinger correspondence, a rare first edition of Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers (in the original wrappers), and historic artefacts such as JFK’s inaugural address and Albert Einstein’s telescope. Luxury Defined therefore offers a trove of homes for the true lover of books and reading. Consider a trophy estate in Beverly Hills with an Art Deco library—and a Hollywood pedigree. A historic residence on Chicago’s Gold Coast; a Tudor-inspired manor in Charlotte, North Carolina; and a horse ranch in Rancho Santa Fe, California, all have elegant wood-paneled libraries. And, in the university town of Princeton, New Jersey, a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Prairie house offers a modern take on a classic reading room.
