TASCHEN

Tashen! A fantasy come true, laden with beautiful books of photography, architecture, nature, fetishes, anatomy, etc… oh, and a big selection of celebrity shoots to choose from. It’s so airy and fresh in the store. There is no one hounding you, or following you around. You can feel free to peruse the vast selection of art, and not feel obligated to purchase Jeff Koons’ $ 4,000 monograph– or any other for that matter. There is a lot of variety, whether you’re looking for light reading on your fav photographers, or looking for inspiration. It is located right below the Herzog & de Meuron designed parking garage. They always have the latest– Richard Kern, & Helmut Newton, & Araki being my top. You’re also able to pre-​purchase the incoming titles. There’s something for everyone, just have an open mind. Happy shopping.

Was interesting for a collector but not exactly what I was looking for. Very friendly staff, unique items never seen before, clean, & every one of the collectable books had a sample open so you could browse even if you didn’t want to buy.

I use to love this store but lately I’ve gone in twice and have came across the RUDIEST team there — This is my go to spot for gifts but the new management they have is more interested in drinking coffee and eating than assisting customers — When my wife and I arrived to the store The manager who I later found out was actually the ASSISTANT manager (the man — big n round — wearing a t shirt that had been sweated out and dark sweat pants — completely inappropriate attire I might add) was towards the back where this curtain was opened and he was drinking coffee and didn’t even bother to walk towards me and my wife to greet us — after I inquired about some books — titles and themes — he barely gave me any information — instead he tried to rush me over to their HUGE books that they keep in the back (probably to try to get me to buy one of them and make his commision) when I was looking for something completely unrelated to anything he showed me — when I looked at a price for one of those huge books I made a remark to my wife about how expensive they were and he then decided to say to us «well they’re here for the people that can afford them»
EXCUSE ME ?? IS THAT HOW YOU SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS?
Once he saw I wasn’t interested he went back behind the current opened it and started munching down on something — my wife then attempted to engage him again and he responded to her with a mouthful of food and simply said «if you don’t see it we’re out of stock» Without even bothering to check for himself! The crazy thing is that ALL FOUR THEMES I was looking for were IN THE STORE — could he not have taken the time to look for them? How unbelievable — Even though I found the books I decided I was not going to give my money to this store — and instead walked over to Books & Books where I found them all and was greeted and helped by one of their associates. Since this store opened I’ve gone to make purchases there but NOT ANYMORE. TEACH YOUR MANAGEMENT PROPER CUSTOMER SERVICE. Not to stand there eating and drinking in front of customers — IN A BOOKSTORE nonetheless.

My go to store for gifts. They have something that will interest everyone. They also gift wrap for free.

LET’S READ UNTIL WE FALL ASLEEP: I’ve been reading Taschen books for over a decade now, and I have no intention of stopping. Visiting a brick and mortar of this delectable book purveyor had me giddy from the get.
WHAT I DO FOR THAT BOOK: I endured a tropical rain storm, and soaked feet to get here. And I made it to a smiling young woman with dark hair, a place to store my umbrella and the cool chill of air condition in the middle of Miami Beach. Taschen never disappoints. These books push the envelope, question everything, and provide a safe space for exploration, seeing and learning. I opted for the Islamic Tile Art book ($ 9.99) and the Dalí tarot deck that is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Anything by Dian Henderson is incredible, too.
HAT TIP: The space is small but there’s never anyone breathing down your neck. The attendants are attentive and knowledgeable, always appreciated.

i like books. especially those that are mostly pictures and here they have many of those. visual stimulation, thats what you get here. yeah, all of these books also contain great text, prose and verb but lets make it clear: you dont like to read. the last book you «read» was whatever everyone else told you was their last book they «read». so, if you happen to like to keep books at home to impress your guests, at least have a book that everyone would genuinely enjoy, like the big book of breasts, in 3D.

I had seen Taschen items scattered about other bookstores before and was excited to find an entire store by this publisher. The experience in the store was very soothing without attendants hawking around, but always there to offer a gently helpful tip. Many were in display for easy flipping, which is great for such heavy coffee table books.

As a book lover I think this place is awesome! I even found a gift for Hubby and thankfully, they deliver because we had no room left to bring anything else home with us! Awesome location and the atmosphere was great. Warm and friendly employees didn’t make me feel like browsing was off limits. I was really able to stroll around and check things out without feeling pressure to buy anything. Some of it’s pricey but personally I think it’s worth it. These are not cheap mass produced paperbacks. These books are art and worth every penny!

What can I say? I’m a book worm/​art lover at the core so TASCHEN had me at Guten Tag!
What I love about this store is that they have it all! Taschen books are famous for their excellent quality, layout + design and informative yet to the point copy. Although they can be a bit pricey, I suggest joining their mailing list if you want to get the word on their sales, sometimes as good as 70% off!
Your coffee table will thank you!

Great place to pick up unique books for your coffee table or a gift. The books are a bit pricey, but worth the investment for the level of detail and quality involved with these books.

We strolled into Tashen on Lincon Road before the movies. There is an eclectic collection of coffee table books from art history, architecture and design to some books you’ve never seen before. These might make good gifts for the person that has everything.

Outstanding service from Sandra and Remy!!! Beautiful store specializing in upscale books and collectors editions. Wonderful location– just a quick walk from Epicure.
The book-​specialists always made sure you have a FRESH copy-​never the «tester» so if you are a book snob/​freak like me you will always had a perfect copy! Bravo!

Great location for a bookstore of it’s type as well as being pretty daring for a single publisher create their own brand books and bookstore. The atmosphere and convenient pitcher of ice cold water are great touches for browsing in the store. We know that this can all be done on the internet, but with the inception of the kindle and digital reading, the tactile sense of the store surpasses the aforementioned experiences.

LOVE LOVE LOVE TASchen!
Some of the prices are a little out there…
Go first to the Sale section on the back of the store. Got plenty of my books there for prices that I couldn’t Believe!
Service is always friendly.
I have developed an addiction to this Store.
They know how to make beautiful books.
No other company in the publishing industry puts so much effort on the quality and design as they do.

Taschen is one of my favorite publishers. I didn’t know they had a retail store in South Beach, so I was very excited to spot this place on a recent visit.
As others have said, the store itself is beautiful and it reflects the style and class of the books themselves. If you’re into art, architecture, sex, fashion, travel or biographies then this bookstore is Mecca. The photography and layout of each and every book is impressive. If you’re like me, you really will want to have them all. It’s the perfect place to obtain a coffee table fixture or a gift for someone.
The staff is very helpful and all of the books are incredibly well priced. And there are deep discounts from time to time. If you go to Lincoln Road, make sure you stop by Taschen!

I honestly don’t know why everyone has been giving this place ONLY 4 stars when it deserves 5…
There is no other store on Lincoln Road like it, not even Books & Books owns up to this stores coolness (okay maybe thats an exaggeration). Point taken Taschen has a great variety from Audrey Hepburn to business in the ‘mad men era’ (that is one of their books).
Please check it out, you wont regret it!

This book store rocks! My husband and I were walking on Lincoln Road looking to waste some time, and when we arrived at the Taschen store, he exclaimed «wow, a bookstore that only sells cool books.»
And he was right. Every book in the store, I wanted to own. The pictures are vivid, the subject matter for each book is wonderful. I really do want to buy every book in there.
We easily spent 30 minutes in there just flipping through the pages of about 20 books.

If I were pressed with time and forced to give a one word review for Taschen, it would have to be: hervorragend
But to be fair, I am neither pressed by time nor forced to give a one word review so let me elaborate…
Nicht nur dieser Ort hat eine tolle Lage, gut beleuchtet, warm und einladend, aber es liefert auch das Versprechen, Ihre Reisen durch Lincoln Road enterntain.
Mit allen Mitteln, schnappen Schritt in ein Buch und lesen, es gefördert wird. Meine Vermutung, werden Sie durch mehrere Bände und Bände, die Ihre Sinne kitzeln gehen, dass Sie lächeln, lachen und vielleicht weinen. Also, wo sonst kann man in Bummeln und machen Sie einen Ausflug durch einige großartige Kultur, wo sich Ihre Lebensfreude gesteigert und ist die Zeit vergeht nicht als verschwendete Ware, sondern und die Investition in das Wohlbefinden.
Aus dem gleichen Grund ist es sehr ermutigend, dass Sie mehrere Bücher holen und halten einige für sich selbst und damit andere als Geschenk und Pay It Forward.

I must say that finding Taschen was a nice find. The books are great, the setting simple.
I love the fact that the books range from so many themes and some are super sexy. Being a physically stong person I was surprised that most of the books were so heavy I would have to rest them on something to browse through them.
Books are a passion of mine, so its always a pleasure to find a place that offers such a nice selection.
Worth every penny!

A cool German import of a «bookstore» with limited choices and selected books. The limited choices make it feel less like a bookstore and more like a huge book shelf, but the book selection is very top-​notch — especially if you’re into design, advertising, and the arts. A lot of it is even suitable to be a coffee table type of book.
So basically, a high-​end artsy bookshelf — just don’t come here expecting the coziness of a library. For a bookstore offering a Library-​type of feel, Books & Books is still the only game in town. After all, it’s Lincoln Road, South Beach — when was the last time you saw someone carry around a book on the Beach?
