Calling me a book worm would be a bit of an understatement. I devour books and am typically reading at least two books at one time, finishing multiple books in a month. I am also a notorious book collector. Prior to getting a Kindle, I was known to go to book stores and purchase book upon book; our bedside table is full of books that I have yet to read. Not much has changed now that I have a Kindle, except that now my books take up less space and are much more portable.
It should then stand to reason that I am also a collector of coffee table books. I think that they are great additions to the home, adding character and personality to living spaces. For us, our home is filled with fashion, art, and design books.
[This Tiffany Style book is the newest in my collection and was a birthday gift from an amazing friend. The pictures in the book are breathtaking and the content is fantastic as well. If you are a Tiffany lover, drop what you are doing and purchase it now!]
Even our wedding album and guest book from our wedding are coffee table books. If your photographer offers this option, I would highly recommend it. Coffee table books are much more durable that photo albums: you don't have to worry about photographs aging, the binding is sturdier, and they look great on a book shelf or coffee table.

If you are looking for a good place to start your collection, but don't know where to start looking, browse Amazon. You can even create wish lists to keep track of what you want; the wishlists also are uber convenient to send to relatives for holidays and birthdays (and anything available on Amazon can be put on them, not just books)!
