**Assolutely fabulous** The luxury coffee-table books published by Assouline�protected by linen clamshell boxes�often cost more than coffee tables themselves. At $750, ***Ballets Russes*** is no exception. This 220-page tome by Andr� Tubeuf, with 180 illustrations on cotton paper, surveys a time when Coco Chanel designed for dances with backdrops painted by Matisse or Picasso. L�on Bakst�s costume sketches, of Nijinsky and other stars, are some of the most gorgeous in dance history. Swoon. *Available online at assouline.com.*
