Yes! I love my coffee table book collection + they bring me so much joy when I look around the house at them.

There's Alex Katz Gathering from when I viewed his collection at the Guggenheim, my Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture book brings me back to wistfully going through its pages at a tiny bookstore in London + then opening it as a gift from my husband the following month, Woman Before Fashion reminds me of the thrill of sitting in a room as DvF spoke about her journey.

I feel like the ability to transport is particularly important for coffee table books, and boy, do they.

Thanks for sharing Kayli! Love how each book you have directly links to a memory! & I completely agree, coffee table books are so important for escape and inspiration! They give you something scrolling just doesn't.
