It was a challenge not to buy anything, but I maintain that Taschen, if not the preeminent publisher of art books in the world, has the chance to provide a top-notch retail front..and they have done so. Where else can I look at $1200 books with provided white gloves, but spend half an hour poring over the $40 offerings? There is a fundamental need for art in this world, and I'm glad they're doing their part. Salespeople largely left me alone, which is fine. They must have sensed I wasn't buying anything, but they didn't know that I couldn't put the book I wanted in my suitcase coming back home. So no nefarious intent detected on their part. Would visit again, then plot to get it mailed to me at home. read more

TASCHEN has always been one of my favorite publishers. They've specialized in publishing hardcover distinguishable books on all realms of art since 1980. Naturally, I bookmarked this retail location and finally opted for an instore purchase versus the online method I've typically done. While they do offer extremely rare and collectible books, they also offer plenty of interesting options that are budget-friendly as well. Everyone is an enthusiast about something which is why this publisher and retail location makes the perfect destination to suit all needs, interests, and age groups. In my opinion, they certainly have some of the best sourced material and images found throughout their collections so it's easy to fall in love with a book here. After all, a home without a library is just a house. Whether you are looking for a decorative table book, a conversation starter, or an anthology of varied arts; you can find it at TASCHEN. The staff here is super nice and knowledgeable in helping you locate a specific print you're looking for. I recommend this store to tourists and locals alike. read more

Great little bookstore that seems to specialize in coffee table books and ones with lots of glossy pictures. Some are expensive, some are not so much. I had my eye on one book that contained a collection of Van Gogh's paintings. The $20 price was acceptable but do I really need a five pound book taking up weight and space on my shelves? Probably not today. The books are shrink wrapped to protect them, but many have a display copy that you can page through to help you make a decision. [Review 10281 overall, 44 of 2019.] read more

See all

This place shouldn't really be called a book store. They only had coffee table picture books. Really disappointing selection.

Great art. Great art books as well. I mean this set of books could probably be called art as well. Definitely a very classy store and worth a look. read more

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! read more

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? read more

Terrible customer service. Return policy is no refund yet there are no signs in the store notifying the customer about the policy. It's listed on the receipt at which point it's too late. Shop at Books and Books instead. read more

Cool books and a neat set up. Great place to find books for your house decor...and they'll ship the books to you (if you're from out of town). read more

In the movie Notting Hill William Thacker owns a travel bookstore, that is a bookstore that only sells travel books. You couldn't find any great literature in his shop and you won't find any classics at Taschen either, but, If you're looking for something that's going to enhance the aesthetic of anyone's abode, try Taschen. One of the prettiest German exports since Claudia Schiffer. Taschen has you covered from architecture to web design. Most of these books have a strong aesthetic and a price point to match but you can score plenty of items on sale, sometimes even 50% or more off. This is an ideal place to pick up a coffee table book for a housewarming or purchase that collector's edition for that devoted artsy friend. Best of all? The sense of humor in some of the titles including The Big Book of Breasts and The Big Butt Book, both Schiffer approved. read more

I hit the Winter Warehouse sale this past Friday. 50-75% off design, photography, art & travel books. Got there at 11:15 to discover the place in total chaos. Place is usually quiet, but this Sale craziness was expected. There were 5 center islands overflowing w/ books. The more we took, the more was brought out from the back storage. The smart ones came prepared. -They had lists. -Researched the sale items. -Knew what Volumes they needed. -And were in teams of 2 (one to scavenge & the other to protect the pile already collected to the side). I came on an early lunch break...unprepared. But was able to grab $200 worth of books for $50 and some scratches from an overly excited Helmut Newton fan ("Sumo" was going for $24.50). Store manager said to also check the online sale. I did & was able to grab a 12 Volume DOMUS set for a ridiculously low price ($250 vs. $840). Win. Friendly, helpful, efficient. Will be checking their website for the next sale. Until then, I'll be visiting & making a list. read more

Nothing dresses up a table like a big book of your favorite body part. At Taschen, you are able to stamp your coffee table card with titles such as "The Big Books of Breasts" "The Big Book of Butts" and my personal fav "The Big Book of Penis". They also carry a multitude of design and travel books. To my surprise, the books are moderately priced. Some books can run you as little as 20 bucks! Whaaaa? For some coffee table bedazzling, cadazzling if you will? Yes, 20 bucks. Taschen makes you look cool whilst buying smart. My coffee table thanks me and yours will too. Danka Krakowska. Oh no wait that's Polish. Danke schon. Ich Lieb dich Taschen! (that totally means I love you Taschen. Swear) read more

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. read more

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! read more

Good selection of books and cozy atmosphere. A nice way to end an evening, after a good meal. Good vibe. read more

These are the books one wants to display proudly. I have Warhol, Bowie, Soul/Funk, Calatrava... books and love showing them. This place has something for everyone, ships for free (over $50), and the staff is lovely. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Coffee-table book paradise! This place is great. Interesting selection of mainly large coffee table books. Topics include art and architecture, design and even some adult options as well. This location is geared more towards tourists, but its still very nice and on the best part of Lincoln Road. Recommended. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. DT read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Being a native German, you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon one of my favourite bookstores from the fatherland right here in Miami Beach on Lincoln Road - Taschen. The store is located in the new Herzog & de Meuron Building next to the movie theatre. While the building is an architectonical disaster in my viewpoint, the store itself is beautifully designed with warm, welcoming murals and terrazzo floors. But the real appeal is - of - course - the book selection. You will find Taschen books covering contemporary and classic art, photography, design, architecture, sex, travel, cinema and pop culture, as well as Spanish and Portuguese language titles. And there's books in German, too! Miamians -consider yourself honoured: this store is one of only 11 in the world. We are joinign the ranks of such metropolises as Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, Brussels, Berlin, Hamburg and Copenhagen. One step closer to becoming a real city! Thanks, Mr. Taschen. read more

TASCHEN - Miami - Taschen Store Miami Beach - Bookstores Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

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. read more

You stole my Sundays from me, from now on I will be spending my free time on Sundays here. I think I did drool while i walked through and once I got to the section of your limited editions I stood there for almost two hours IN HEELS! I don't think i could ever get enough of you! And can't wait until my first purchase of the collector's edition of Ellen von Unwerth, Fräulein. When I walk by my library at home and see Taschen on the cover I smile :) read more

I seriously underestimated this bookstore, and I'm really glad I decided to stop by! By no means are these books challenging to read or analyze, which make them perfect to lay on a coffee table or use them as decor. The prices are a bit hefty but for the service I received and the great vibes this place gives off, I think it's very worth stopping by. I also must add, fairly tidy and neat which fuels my OCD necessities! Give it a go, you won't be disappointed! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love this store! Every time I'm on Lincoln I have to pop in. They just had an amazing sale and we couldn't resist. Great place to grab a unique book/gift for Friends and family. read more

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! read more

In an ideal world, I would like a library in my home or a sitting room containing at the very least one of every book in here. Actually, considering the explicit nature of a few books, maybe almost one of every book in there. I love large oversized picture and travel books. It's indulgent. read more

Very friendly and attentive staff. Love the simple elegant layout of the shop. BF found the Shark book he was looking for in 1 minute flat.

Small store with a nice sci-fi collection. Where it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality, making shelf browsing fun.

My favorite neighborhood bookstore. Great collection of new and old. Some great prices on remainder books as well.

I've always loved large books with great pictures and good captions. This time around its at the Taschen Book Store on Lincoln Road. I could totally spend hours in there if allowed. I was able to thumb through books filled with Carvaggio paintings, Michaelangelo paintings, and yes even some Terry Richardson wayward photography. You have to simply appreciate the vastness of art that one store can hold. I think that my favorite of all was the $200 Human Anatomy and surgery book the size of a small end table (and in French to boot). Right now the Muhamed Ali book is quite affordable at Taschen and I was able to pick up the latest edition of the magazine (for free). read more

I love Taschen on Lincoln Road. Its a great place to look an some awesome books on the weekends. I wish they had a sitting area to lounge. Otherwise, its in a wonderful location and awesome staff! read more

A beautiful, beautiful store. I was so captivated by their collection they had to kick me out after closing. Amazing books, some quite expensive, other not quite, all of them gorgeous. Expect to be impressed. read more
