Despite the fact that I have no coffee tables, I have a thing for big, beautiful “coffee table” books. Well, Andrew and I both do, really. We have a rather pricey Disney one (limited printing, so we grabbed it while it was available), a book of The New Yorker’s cartoons (yeah, all of them), a lovely Monty Python one, a few art ones (well, naturally!) and now I have gathered unto myself another: The Beatles Anthology.
Mmmmm. Beatles. Haven’t gotten even most of the way through yet, but so far I’m enjoying it. All the pictures and the biographical stuff, very nice. It’s a really good collection of information, if you’re a Beatles fan (or, even if you’re not that keen, you might still enjoy it; it’s got lots of pictures!).
The only trouble with coffee table books is that they’re too big to easily read in bed at night… Maybe we should look into getting a coffee table. And keep it by the bed. Hmmm.
