Holiday Gift Guide - books

Hardcover and coffee table books are one of my favorite gifts to get. I'm always looking to expand my collection of art, design, fashion and travel books, even though I'm running out of spaces to display them. For those of you still scrambling for last minute gifts, books are the perfect solution. And 2010 has certainly come out with a fair share of great ones!
