Assouline PublishingPalm Beach Hardcover Book

Early in the 1900s, one-time oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler took interest in the southern coast of Florida and began developing an exclusive resort community. His hope was that America's first families would come to populate the area. This modest community later evolved into an iconic American destination, and Palm Beach established itself as a luxury hideaway synonymous with old-world glamour and new-world sophistication. In this splendid volume, longtime resident and Palm Beach social fixture Aerin Lauder takes us through her Palm Beach. From favorite restaurants to favorite houses, she takes us to the elite shopping of Worth Avenue and the scenic walkways of the Lake Worth trail, all the while relating to us the histories, faces and places that have become so identified with Palm Beach.
