More books.
More books, less twitter...am I right? Well in any case, we recently purchased a few new books that I have flipped through about 50 times already.
My Mother's Clothes - Jeanette Montgomery Barron
A daughter chronicles her late mother's exquisite clothing and prized possessions. I love this book, for the photos, for the clothes, for the story.
Photobooth - Babbette Hines
My hub's mother brought this to us as a gift when she came to visit recently -- very appropriate, right? You guessed it, it's a library of old photobooth images.
Orla Kiely: Pattern - Orlay Kiely
Not really sure if this one even needs a description -- it's an inside look into the brand told by the designer herself. Lots of great eye-candy.
The Small Stakes: Music Posters - Jason Munn
A book dedicated to the work of Munn -- all music posters...with an amazing amount of metallic printed ink.
Brooklyn Diary - Lena Corwin
This book has been circulating the blog world for good reason. A wonderful guide to this lovely borough.
Days with my Father - Phillip Toledano
I first saw this online -- my hub loved it so much we purchased the book.
Handcrafted Modern - Leslie Williamson
What more could you ask for? A book dedicated to the lived-in homes of mid-century designers.

This is excellent book inspiration and just as I was about to walk down to the bookstore, thanks!
i had no idea jason munn had a book of posters available! i've loved his work for a looooooong time. is it cheap of me to ask if you'd consider the book worth its $25 price tag? it surely looks gorgeous...
That's one of my favorite Neko Case gig posters that your book is turned to. I didn't want to spend all that money to buy a book just for one page, though. :)
I have that photobooth book! I bought it on holiday in America once, it's one of my favourite books though.
amen to that! those look like excellent twitter alternatives. what a great collection!
My Mother's Clothes looks like a book that I could totally fall in love with. I have a soft spot for stories that revolves around clothes, as they can often tell a bigger picture. Thanks for the book inspiration!
This is a great list - something for everyone! Thank you!
Those first two books are right up my alley! So cool :)
looks like a lovely collection!
