By

These pretty books are just as nice on the inside as they are on the outside.

Listen, we're big fans of novels, novellas, murder-mysteries and raunchy romances as much as the next guy, but sometimes we just like to look at lovely picture books filled with lush photography, drawings and other nice pretty things to treat our peepers to. Known as coffee table books (but, if we're being honest, they fit right at home no matter where they're placed), these hardback beauties are the best way to add a bit of zhuzh into our abodes – and we might just learn something by giving them a good look inside as a neat bonus. We've plucked a couple of ace book that range from art, fashion, design, interiors, gardens and travel right down below.
