I’ve been called a hoarder of magazines and like to think of Coffee Tables Books as the more sophisticated and grown up version.  They’re fun to flip through and a nice thing to have for when guests visit.  Personally, I choose ones that accent my home and stand out as little accessories since they are more than not for decoration than read cover to cover.
