WALKER'S WAY: MY YEARS WITH WALKER EVANS (PowerHouse, $38), illustrated with over 50 images, sees elegant Isabelle Storey reflect on her 10-year marriage to the noted photographer, 30 years her senior, a man who beguiled her with his charm, style, talent—and glittering social circle.

New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr’s second book on fragrance, THE PERFECT SCENT (Henry Holt & Co., $28), follows the creation of two perfumes at opposite ends of the industry’s spectrum: one for the luxe house of Hermès; the other, Sarah Jessica Parker’s signature scent for Coty.

French photographer Le Bijoutier’s THIS MEANS NOTHING (PowerHouse, $38) documents a decade of New York street art in chalk, marker, stencil, paint and poster.

Cataloguing the upper end, THE WORTH OF ART (2) (Assouline, $25) has Judith Benhamou-Huet weigh in on the price of priceless works.
