Re: Coffee Table Books

I managed to find a few examples at my parents' house tonight:

#1. Classic nature photography of close-up flowers and foliage. Aside from their beauty, some remind me of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings with the hints of sexual connotation.





#2. Graphic Design books: "Big Idea" was a gift from my uncle in Korea. The cover, table of contents, intro pages are in English with American design examples, while the captions running on the top are in Korean. Also, the book is divided into letters as chapter parts to convey themes (i.e. humor, exaggeration, parody, animal) as you'll see below.
