Biography

Vernhes was raised in Paris, France, before moving to the United States at a young age: "I grew up in Paris and moved to the states when I was 12. I ended up in New York at 20 to finish college, thinking I might go back to France afterwards and knew I could not go back before living here. I never left."{{cite web|url=http://www.apogeedigital.com/blog/nicolas-vernhes-on-adaptability-and-his-rare-book-room |title=Nicolas Vernhes On Adaptability and His Rare Book Room|publisher=|first= |last=|date=February 8, 2013|accessdate=December 14, 2015}}
