Default Coffee table books

Can anyone recommend any good coffee table books that should take pride of place on a table/desk?

As a longterm Björk fan, my obvious suggestion is Björk the book.

Do you mean books lying around that you can flick through?

I saw an ace one in Waterstones the other day. It was basically a big collection of photos from the soviet union cold war era.

I saw an awesome coffee table book about a year ago in a waterstones. It was about animals and each page was about a different animal. It was only about 20 quid too and was big and hardbacked! I should have bought it. *regret*

This book would be good fluff to flick through, but could also be useful. Amazon.co.uk: How to Do Just About Everything (Ehow): Books: eHow

Available at Dobbies Garden World, Hazeldene Road for just £4.99

The PostSecret books are really good for flipping through. And you can find some stuff in there which is genuinely moving or funny.

My only and only coffee table book (if I had a coffee table) is The Fourth Sex: Adolescent Extremes. It's a collection of photos and articles examining teenagers and youths as a culture around the world. Some of it is a bit dated now but it's still got some realy interesting articles and things, like one Marilyn Manson after Columbine.
