I have been an avid book collector for many years now. It first started when I visited The National Gallery in London when I was in high school. I made the executive decision that I would collect a book from every gallery and or city I traveled to in my life. For someone that didn't own a home, this was a very grand idea, and my poor parents had to store my stockpile of books for many years to come. Later on in college, I worked at an auction gallery in New Orleans, where I spent hours sifting through the beautiful, abandoned books from large estates. It didn't take long for my boss to recognize my adoration for reading and studying. On my last day of work, they kindly gave me an entire collection of books spanning from interiors in Italy to my favorite Impressionist artists. Today, I'm sharing with you my favorite coffee table books that I have collected over the years and most recently.
