Since its humble start as a comic book stand in Germany in the 1980s, TASCHEN has grown into a well known and respected publisher and bookstore chain. The long, dimly lit interior past the Beverly Hills TASCHEN store's glass doors is reminiscent of a classic study or office from the early 1900s, with large leather chairs centered between tall bookcases of hand-selected reading material. You will find that most of the material for sale has been published by TASCHEN, although a few special selections from other publishers are also available.
