(A Coffee Table Blog... inspired by Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables )

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer was obsessed with publishing a coffee table book about coffee tables -- well I would like to thank him (despite his questionable behavior since then) for the brilliant idea. So it is not a coffee table - it is a blog but it is about coffee table books and I hope you like it.

Cute Animals (don't front they not that cute)

Everyone loves cute animals, calendars featuring puppies frolicking in the field and youtube videos of rabbits in a teacup hit the web and become viral in hours. Blockbuster hits such as Happy Feet and March of the Penguins monopolized on this -- why not bring that excitement to your coffee table.

There are a million ways you can do this - picture books of cute animals are everywhere, but if you are going to do it, i suggest you do with style.

This treasured gem, F U, Penguin: Telling Cute Animals What's What is a hilarious take on cute animal publications. Inspired by the infamous blog by the same name, it is guaranteed to be a favorite among your collection.

Only available in paperback, but unique in its approach - its author has disguised its capitalization on the cute animal craze as a pseudo-movement against adorable animals taking over the world.

It is small in comparison to the usual coffee table book standards but exceptions can be made for this must have addition. You have to check it out :)

  2. Seems like a hilarious book. Sucks that it isn't hardcover like a real formal coffee table book, but if I saw this it is a guarantee I would flip through it.
