The coffee-table-book sphere is an unwieldy one filled with hundreds and hundreds of options, so our writers and editors rounded up the best and most giftable publications. In our list, you’ll find something for every type of person you want to buy for (and possibly something for yourself) — the mom who bird-watches in her free time, the dad who loves ’90s hip-hop, the hard-to-shop-for sister who just got a new apartment, the best friend who loves to cook, even the teen girl who considers herself too cool for school. Below, we’ve organized the books by category, just use the links to navigate. Camping Chair
