pickThis book is such a hidden gem!
It showcases 50 different “hidden” libraries from all around the world (plus outer space). Every library profile tells you how to find it (if applicable, some are no longer around and some are not open to the public). Also, all the photos have captions which I appreciated.

pickThis was such a gorgeous book!
This book explores Palace Costume, a costume rental house that specializes in vintage clothes. The first part featured interviews with the founder and numerous costume designers. The interviews were very insightful and were a fun way to tell the history of the Palace Costume. The rest of the book showed pictures of the clothes.

This is my coffee table book. It was a gift from a friend about 15 years ago. The photographs are stunning. 💜🐎
#CoffeeTableBook #NewYearNewBook @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks In the world where I have the space and the cash for coffee table art books this one is at the top of my list. But in the real world, Taschen also puts out a bookshelf sized hardcover version of this that only costs about $25-30 depending on where you buy it, and that one may actually end up in my home before the year is out.

pickWhat a luxurious book! But that is no surprise considering this is a book from the iconic brand, Hermès. I should expect nothing less from the fashion house.
The book is beautifully made. It has a gorgeous linen cover in the brand‘s iconic orange. The pages inside are so thick. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a book with pages this thick.

Hot Dudes Reading is a book for book nerds and was created after the success of the Instagram account. This consists of pictures of men reading on all the major New York subway routes followed by cheeky but sometimes way too much over sexualization of the author‘s fantasies. The interviews of the men in the original posts were a good idea but the questions the author‘s asked just made it a little uncomfortable at times.
