The Book of Beauty is Beaton's unashamed paean to the beauty of the women who inhabit his world. The book is inspired by books of beauty published in the Victorian period and by his childhood fascination with the theatricality and glamour of the opposite sex. Photographs of women are accompanied by flowery descriptions. Sitters include Baba and Nancy Beaton, Edith Sitwell, Tallulah Bankhead, Tilly Losch, Nancy Cunard and Lady Diana Cooper. The whole captures the wit, intelligence and spirit of the modern women.

The Book of Beauty is a 1930 book by Cecil Beaton, his first published book of photographs. In his concept of beauty, Beaton, with sketches and photographs, highlights actresses such as Tallulah Bankhead and Anna May Wong but also modernist literary figures like Edith Sitwell and Nancy Cunard.

Perfect shelves for our liquor cabinet

Absolutely love these floating shelves. We bought three 30" and two 12". The quality exceeded my expectations. They feel incredibly solid, well-made, and high end. From the moment the package arrived, I could tell this company really cares about their product and their customers. Everything was packaged so elegantly and thoughtfully, with great attention to detail. Installation was straightforward, and once mounted, the shelves looked absolutely beautiful. What really stood out was the customer service. It was honestly some of the best I’ve experienced on Amazon. Super responsive, helpful, and genuinely caring. You can tell this is a company that takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend these shelves to anyone looking for something stylish, durable, and backed by amazing customer support

good
Size: 23.6 Inch, Color: White
I recently added this bathroom shelf, and it’s been a great upgrade for organizing my space. It was easy to install and feels sturdy enough to hold everyday essentials like toiletries, skincare products, and small containers without any issues. The design is simple and clean, which helps it blend in nicely with the rest of the bathroom. It doesn’t take up much space but still provides enough storage to reduce clutter around the sink or shower area. One thing I appreciate is how practical it is for small bathrooms—everything is within reach, and it makes the space feel more organized overall. As long as it’s installed properly, it holds up well and stays secure. The only downside is that heavier items might not be ideal depending on the material, but for regular use, it does the job perfectly. Overall, a functional and affordable solution if you’re looking to add extra storage and keep your bathroom tidy.

Very spacious and beautiful
Size: 23.6 Inch, Color: White, Size: 23.6 Inch, Color: White
A lot of my books fit on here and there’s still more room left if I wanted to buy more books. It’s a simple looking bookshelf but it’s really pretty. It’s also sturdy the only reason I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5 was because it comes with its own plastic screw anchors and they are crap. The shelves were wobbly when we installed them using the plastic screw anchors that came with the packaging. My dad set mine up and luckily he had a bunch of his own so he switched them out with better screw anchors. Once we made that switch it was perfect, there was no wobble or shaking at all. So that’s my only piece of advice. Besides for the screw anchors everything else is perfect
