Literary agency WME will open a holiday bookstore filled with festivities from Fri Dec 12 to Sun Dec 14. At the season’s only pop-up shop staffed by literary agents (i.e. serious publishing tastemakers), you can find some of the best books of 2014, original paper goods designed by style icon Garance Doré for the delightful stationery store Rifle Paper Company and an exclusive line of t-shirts and bags from PRINKSHOP. ‘Tis the season for gifting, after all, and this sounds like the perfect spot to cross a few names off your list.
