This is a great little coffee table book. It gives you a glimpse of a few books chosen by authors, editors, chefs, artists, designers, and other New York intellectual types (not true for everyone because they even include popular Utah author Stephenie Meyers).
It gives you a glimpse of their favorite books, whether it's for right now or of all time. It's a bit fun to see what books keeping popping up, like What Is the What by Dave Eggers. They write a short explanation of why they choose some of the books on the shelf. Some times it makes sense, sometimes you want to find the books and read them for yourself, and some times you know it's personal reasons and you couldn't care less. It's a book that you will want to come bakc to again and again for reading suggestions. Sure, I'll probably never read any of the books listed by chefs or artists, but I can tell I will always find some inspiration in these pages. The illustrations of the shelves are also interesting because it's lovely to see the spines of different editions of the same book. It would also make a great gift for any book lovers you know.
