What books do you have?

I think you can tell a lot about someone by their coffee table books.


When I moved into my apartment, I got so excited at the idea of having my own coffee table books in my own coffee table. When I picked the table out, I purposely made sure it was wood with glass over it, so I could put the books underneath. That way I can put stuff on the table and see the books through the glass.


Mine: from L to R

I stole my brother's art history textbook, but my parents took it back, because my brother was looking for it.
 
I´m so glad you started this thread! I love coffee table books! I´m not so sure are all these officially coffee table books, the line has always seemed fuzzy to me :biggrin: Here are mine, can´t remember all the authors sorry:

I have 3 Marilyn Monroe photobooks
The illustrated book of Roses ; Stirling Macoboy , Patricia Stemler Wiley
That extra half an inch by Victoria Beckham
Pug shots; Jim Dratfield
The Tao of pug
Kylie La La La - Kylie Minogue ; William Baker
Forever Spice - "Spice Girls" (lovely black and white photos mostly from their tour)

Those are all I can remember for now, I think I have forgotten something though.
 
On my coffee table.. The Complete Etchings of Louis Icart (love his work and collect his pieces)
Book about Louis Comfort Tiffany
The Birth of Modern Luxury

I just realized something... What's up with all these Louie characters??
