Eight Days a Week: Inside The Beatles’ Final World Tour

Eightdaysaweek

If you do buy one of the coffee tables we’ve featured this week, then perhaps you’ll also want to treat yourself to a beautiful book to show off on it.

Just released is this lavish book of photographs of the Beatles. “Eight Days a Week: Inside The Beatles Final World Tour” comprises of photographs by esteemed photographer Robert Whitaker and text by Marcus Hearn. Whitaker was the photographer behind the most controversial Beatles artwork, the “Butcher Sleeve” used briefly on the US release of “Yesterday and Today” and he also accompanied the band on several tours, gaining unrestricted access to their lives on the road.

The book is available to buy online at Amazon for just £12.99.

Oluce Lyndon 350 – 1970s outdoor floor light

Lyndon

The nights are drawing in, which could mean investing in outdoor lighting. And there’s nothing more stylish than the Oluce Lyndon 350 by Vico Magistretti.

It’s been in production since 1977 and remains as popular as ever. Take your pick from a variety of Lyndon set-ups, although we prefer the floor-based 350, which is a mix of 18th century floor lamp and 70s space age styling. That means a black lacquered metal structure housing four globes in transparent polycarbonate – the entire structure standing around 10ft tall.

If you love spending time in the garden, it might well be worth the hefty price tag – £2,203.

Get the feeling the polo shirt you’re wearing  is a bit ‘rent-a-tent’? You shouldn’t have that problem with the Fred Perry M120 Made In Japan polo shirts.

It’s designed primarily for the Japanese market, but stock is available at selected retailers outside if you look around. All have the classic Fred Perry polo styling, but have a much slimmer fit, not to mention being shorter than your average polo.

Interesting colour choices too, including the pink/black and green/black above. You can pick one up for £50.
