Fully Booked: Dialogue follows-up its first episode with Dana Thomas' Deluxe. The book’s focus in finding out "how luxury lost its luster" covers the opulent history of luxury, and the circumstances that transformed it to what it is today. Deluxe is a mix of literary forms that work together to inspire a greater whole. It has the academic perspective of a marketing manual, the enlightening tapestry of a history book, and the informed, industry-centered deductions of a fashion journal.

Appropriately, the contributors who discuss Deluxe are from various fields: LA Consing Lopez, style editor of Rogue magazine; Peter So, former finance professor from the University of the Philippines; Isha Andaya, Managing Editor of Preview magazine's online home, Stylebible.ph; and Sharon See, TV and video production stylist. The panelists do justice to the involving treatise that is the book - by pursuing the true form of luxury as it is defined by its history and its proponent personalities.
