10 best book bargains from the huge Taschen Sale

-Sale now finished-

And they say Christmas only comes once a year. Looking at the books that have been discounted in the Taschen sale, this is simply not true.

The sale, which lasts from the 27-30 June, is one of the biggest the book seller has ever had. It's the time of year when they get rid of display items and those books that have a touch of damage and sell them for up to 75% off their original price.

Below are 10 books that we thinks are essential buys - whether it's because of the imagery, the writing or a mixture of the both.

All of these are coffee table reads that chart specific people and periods in culture.

It's worth nothing that while we may get a commission from the following links, each book here has been chosen by our team, purely because of their editorial quality - enjoy, and we hope you have a coffee table big enough for all of them.

• If you are in the shopping mood, then our Amazon Prime Day 2019 hub already has deals galore. And if you are in London, the Taschen sale is also on at its Duke of York Square store.

• These are the best scariest books ever written - don't forget to vote on your favourite.
