DALLAS -- Like stuff? This all-color, 500-page international compendium seems to have everything: stupendous homes and edgy designer furniture, kitchen and bath accessories, office equipment, jewelry and cosmetics, highest-tech electronics, essentials and doodads for every imaginable hobby, and transportation from skates to a Hummer-style golf cart to a submarine seating six.
Everything is swank, from the Spartan roll-up felt pallet for one to the multilevel "Boogie Nights" upholstered bed. What the book lacks, happily, is prices -- nothing to jerk your inner materialist (or aesthete) back to dreary reality. But if you just gotta have it, you may have to work for it. Each item is tagged with a Web address for more info, but some don't work and others produce minimal information, or dead-end with retail-unfriendly manufacturers.
