ED BEARDSLEY Vice president, managing director Heritage Auctions I 'm off to Art Basel, then a week in Southern Germany, including Munich. But before a trip, I go to the Benefit Store for Genesis Women's Shelter and Support (around the corner from where I live) and stock up on books that are Pulitzer Prize, New York Times, or national bestsellers so I always have something on hand for long flights or jet-lagged nights. It's quite eclectic, and I'm not always reading the latest. Great recycling! GONZALO BUENO Designer, Ten Plus Three Reading now.
