Tacschen is easily one of the best publishers and respected tastemakers in the world of art, design, music, fashion, architecture and popular culture. Their portfolio of books spans everything from their favorite hotels to an encyclopedia of big butts – that’s right, big butts – all presented in a way that’s beautiful, tasteful, and most importantly, interesting. Their most recent record-related book is called Extraordinary Records and is one of the better vinyl books I’ve seen. The book is divided into six sections: monochrome, unusual, multicolored, etched, shaped vinyl as well as picture discs with numerous examples of each. Some really cool and rare vanity pressings are revealed and documented in a way that record collectors, artists and casual readers can all appreciate. And what’s really cool is that you can flip through the entire book online. Of course, nothing beats having the real thing in your lap.
