    Default what do you consider a good coffee table book?

    I currently don't have any books on my coffee table, but would like 3 to display. I like scenery types, but am open to just about anything because it would be more for anyone that's here to glance through.

    I don't have a coffee table, but I do have an end table, along with one antique table in my living room.    Any book by Robert Batemen and a good up to date atlas would be on my coffee table if I had one.     I have 2 books by Robert Bateman of his art and I need to get them put on my end table.

    I'd love a book on the works of Ansel Adams.

    Right now it has Dds computer,National Geographic,pens, a lock,various notebooks and papers,a candy wrapper and a figurine from my latest opened box of red roses tea. Guess who will be cleaning off the coffee table when she gets of-line?

    On my coffe table at the moment is my bible, the excelent wife, and the family bible. Plus an assortment of odds and ends. It is where things seem to get laid down.

    I have, " A Day in the Life of the Amish". It's several years old, but I love the stories and pics.

    I think it's nice to have a southern Living cookbook, a book with pics of flowers and one of castles.

    I don't have a coffee table either but am planning on pulling the old one out of the garage and putting books on it!
