For actual books, I browsed Barnes and Noble so I could compare sizes and make sure the covers looked pretty together then bought the ones I liked on amazon where they’re much cheaper This is one of my faves Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travel: Our List of the 500 Best Places to See... Ranked www.amazon.com/dp/1760342777/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Z47ZAbGNZB61D

I mean, do as I say, not as I do, because our current coffee table is a hand-me-down from my ILs (high quality but circa 1999), because I can't figure out my style and pull the trigger on a new one. And my kids are still in the wreck-everything stage. But anyway, this photographer has several books that I saved to my Amazon list for a future life when kids leave things alone: Ancient Trees: Portraits of Time www.amazon.com/dp/0789211955/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ES8ZAbN7V35DG(Old trees speak to my soul)

Oooh I like that Bookshelves! I think the reason I have not even looked into some of this stuff earlier is because I just don't know what I want so I have a hard time buying anything!

Well just look at the giant coffee table books at Barnes and noble and find a couple tgat match your decor and are kinda interesting. Then buy new ones when you eant yo change the look or at different seasons or holidays. I have about 20 large coffee table books, famous paintings, pocketwatches, flowers, Chile pepper recipes, ww2, anything tgat catches the eye. Dh loves them.
