Could there be a more perfect place for a private book party than the modernist Nob Hill apartment of Andrew and Francoise Skurman? You know that a book must be worthy of your time to be included among such important art work. Such was the case earlier this month, when the Skurman’s hosted a party for Tom Dolby’s new novel, “The Sixth Form,” which has been getting stellar reviews.
