No Time like the Presents For five Las Vegas tastemakers, giving well is a holiday highlight. Photography by Jeff Crawford Styling by Terry Lewis Speak Volumes In your ideal home library, what will we find besides books? Things that are practical, beautiful, and will also have personal resonance. I want a library I'm going to live in; I don't want a library for show. Whenever I'm in my library, I'm inevitably drinking tea. So, mugs. The L'Objet mug is a beautiful choice for a holiday gift. I'm very attracted to the history, and the aesthetics, of Venice and Venetian arts. Why give books for the holidays? A great book can change your life. When you give a rare book, you're giving a historical artifact; you're giving the gift of participating in a legacy. What's the best gift you've ever received? An ancient Greek coin from about 3 BC, embedded into a necklace, from the man who would become my husband. It was almost a precursor to what I've been doing: I've made my living treasuring historical artifacts.
