(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.

Why?: Books I Strongly Advise Against

So far i have presented you guys with the best of what I can find. But in my journeys there are way too many coffee table books that I come across and ask the universe: "WHY?" Thanks to the suggestions of my lovely friends I will be picking out the worst of the worst and strongly advise you to stay very very far away.

PART 1


Cacas: The Encyclopedia of Poo by Colors Staff, Oliviero Toscani,  is a book about poo. If you are particularly interested in poo, I don't know what to say to you, but I strongly advise against having anything on your coffee table that has any connection to poo. Coffee is dark, poo is generally dark -- you and your guest should be able to eat chocolate without looking down at your coffee table and having the urge to spit it out.

Of course I am not the absolute voice on this. An Amazon customer review states: "This is certainly a coffee table book that will break the ice and get people talking...It is interesting to see droppings from giraffes, monkeys, etc." She also mentions that she wished there was some discussion on human poo... I just have to ask WHY?
