One of the things I love to do during the Atlanta Gift & Home Furnishings Market is to shop for new design, entertaining and coffee table books. It gives me an opportunity to preview the books before they are released and available in stores or online.
I’ve always loved books (a by-product of a mom who was an English teacher) and have amassed quite a collection over the years. These days most of my book purchases are design and entertaining books so that’s what I look for at market. And boy was I excited to see so many fabulous books scheduled for release in the fall and winter.
Here’s a round-up of what I have on order. And to make ordering easy for you, I’ve included links (affiliate links) to all of the titles so you can pre-order your copies today.
