Coffee table books get the moniker due to their hefty size. These books aren't to be browsed through via iPad or Kindle, but are meant to be flipped through slowly, glass of wine in hand, and preferably with a friend by your side. Not just social, but insightful, coffee table books offer everything from Carine Roitfeld's life as a fashion pioneer in Irreverant to Julia Chaplin's Gypset Travel.
