The following group of coffee-table books is unique in that it follows no scheme: Titles aren’t listed by alphabetical order in terms of author, book name, or even sorted by category. Why? Because most lists do this, and this one’s different.
And, it’s a SHORT list, as well, meant to be suggestive, so that you visit the local bookstores below, where the fine staff can help you procure these and other beautiful books.
