I'd just put coffee on it, myself.

This.

Nice collection! I have a book about antique furniture and another about modern design, and two books by Norman Messenger, which no one can keep their hands off of. One is called Making Faces and the other is Imagine. They're fantastic flip books - I highly recommend. There's usually another book - about the similarities between the faces of animals and the faces of people but I don't know what it's called. I also have a pile of various and sundry magazines, Idiots Guide to Knitting and Crocheting, a dictionary, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar is always on the table, too.

I've got The Pythons on The Pythons, The Rocky Horror Picture Show book, Neil Folberg's Celestial Nights, a book about Legos and a book of Tolkien Artwork.
/nerd much?

everichon, that link is awesome. I now have to sneak into your house and read this book.

and by read I mean look at.

David Lynch's book Images, given to me by our (lately-seldom seen) friend mischief.

Also a book of Charles Addams' Addams Family cartoons.

Yeah, that looks awesome. I've already bought my "other-side-of-$100" book for this decade, though.

Which I would have tagged as coffeetable, but it's too big even for that.

All American Ads of the 70s and All American Ads of the 80s.

A coffee-table sized copy of Gray's Anatomy.

A reader's digest hardcover of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" which I had turned into a stash box for weed & paraphernelia. (I know I know, I'm a bad person for rendering a book unreadable but I've got two more copies of that particular volume.)

sisterhavana, I've been buying the all american ads series of books for my mom lately. I think I like them more than she does.

Funny timing, this coffeetable book question: I don't really have a coffee table and wouldn't consider it to be truly a coffee table book, but I just got the Matthew Ritchie Proposition Player exhibition catalogue in the mail today. His work just slays me. That'd be on the table today.

Earth from the air: it's the perfect coffee table book
