TASCHEN is considered by many admirers to be the king of coffee table books. The eponymous publishing company of Benedikt Taschen specializes in stylized art books that are the publishing equivalent of haute couture. The company's motto is "A Passion for Taschen," and the founder is considered one of the industry's most outrageous publishers. For example, several of his books weigh in at more than 65 pounds: SUMO, a limited edition publication containing photography by Helmut Newton, sold for some $10,000. Its GOAT: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali book weighs 75 pounds and sells for $4,000. The firm also runs about 10 TASCHEN Bookstores; the retail outlets are located in cities such as Berlin, London, and New York.
