So, I absolutely jumped at the chance to share ten of my current favorites with you in the realms of art, design, and architecture. Nearly all of these books are in my own collection ? on the bookshelf or on the coffee table ? so they’re legitimate recommendations that I’d pick up for any of my family or friends. (Maybe the tiniest hint to get started on your holiday shopping, if you haven’t already…)
