Bibliotheca Universalis — Build Your Library of the World
Compact in format, monumental in scope: the TASCHEN Bibliotheca Universalis series collects the finest titles from the eclectic TASCHEN universe into one cohesive, collectible library. Each volume measures a handy 5.5 x 7.7 in. and is bound in hardcover — designed to line your shelves beautifully and travel with you just as easily.

With over 65 titles spanning the full breadth of human creativity, Bibliotheca Universalis covers art history from the Renaissance to today — Dalí, Leonardo, Van Gogh, Klimt, Michelangelo, Monet — alongside landmark photography by Eugène Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, and Lewis W. Hine. Architecture enthusiasts will find volumes on Bauhaus, Modern Architecture, Green Architecture, and Contemporary Concrete Buildings, while graphic design lovers can explore Logo Design, Package Design, and 100 Illustrators. Film, fashion, pop culture, alchemy, anatomy, and erotic art round out a series that refuses to be confined to any single discipline.
