Ever since we've started decorating our living room, I've been on the hunt for great coffee table books to fill our space. We have a gorgeous woven tray on our new ottoman, a bar cart in the corner, and an oversized coffee table - all which are great homes for beautiful coffee table books.
I see books all over the place that I want to purchase, but, you know... budget. There are some gorgeous ones out there, but I just can't reason paying $75+ for book that I may not look at on the reg. For me, it's all about the spine as that's what's showing in each of my displays. As long as I love the spine, I'll go ahead and snag one. I also use some of the hardcover books that I've read - instead of sticking on the bookshelf in our upstairs office, I'll take off the dustcovers and utilize them around our living room! Plus, it's a good reminder to reread my favorites.
I rarely buy more than one book at a time (unless it's an amazing deal) as these gorgeous collectibles can get expensive very quickly. Instead, I just keep my eye out when I'm shopping. I'm often able to find fun books at Home Goods (I've had some luck there this summer!) and TJMaxx currently has a few available on their website. As of late, I've ordered a few from Amazon, and today would be a great day to snag some as it is Amazon Prime Day! The couple that I have ordered from Amazon were used editions, but each copy I've received has been in pristine condition! Another place to order is Anthropologie - they have some beautiful options as well.
