Each bookstore will act as a concierge, recommending "the book you should read now" to FASHION HEADLINE readers. Every Saturday, we will introduce books selected by Shelf (3-7-4 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), a Harajuku bookstore specializing in foreign books.

■ "Catalogue Raisonne" Francis Bacon

This is Francis Bacon's first catalogue raisonné, which took 10 years to prepare. In addition to 584 paintings, including over 100 never-before-seen works, including works recently discovered in a private collection in Italy, the book also includes sketches, photographs of the paintings in their original state, handwritten notes, photographs from family albums, and X-ray and microscopic photographs of the works.
