They’re meaningful, inspirational, and best of all: beautiful! There’s no greater gift than a beautiful coffee table book. On a superficial level, they add ambiance, whether you place them in a library or on a coffee table. But the best ones live in your home forever while expanding your horizons far beyond.
Recently, three-time Gourmand Award winner, and Pakistan’s leading independent publishing house Markings Publishing, in association with Topical Printers, proudly launched the pictorial book ‘Finding Lahore’, by photographer Amna Zuberi at AdAsia Lahore 2019.

With ‘Finding Lahore’, Zuberi pays homage to the historically laden city of Lahore, its sights and sounds, the moods and the senses that are so intricately webbed within the cultural capital of Pakistan. “Seeing what I see as the beating heart of my city, the extraordinary in its everyday ordinary, come to life in the form of a book is such an exhilarating feeling,” she said.
