Marta D. Riezu gathers a personal canon of elegance, understood as what is simple, useful and long-standing, starting from Cecil Beaton's answer when asked what elegance was: soap and water. The book is divided into temperaments, objects and places, ends with a dictionary of affinities, and takes in public libraries, maps, old cake shops, trains, Josep Pla and Giorgio Morandi.

Who it's for
For readers who enjoy fragmentary books that can be opened at any page and read in short sittings. The book itself warns that it offers no strong emotions, just company, a discovery or two and the urge to go for a walk.

Written with the help of AI from todostuslibros, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
