Best Coffee Table Books ?

Anyone have any good vendors for Coffee table books? I hear Asuka, Digilabs, Pictage... Anyone ever purchase one and are VERY VERY pleased with it?

Wow! I never thought about books devoted specifically to coffee tables! Do they list the prices of antique coffee tables, or perhaps provide showcase articles on currently-available coffee tables? Wood, glass and chrome, bamboo, brass, ceramic: the list of possibilities seems endless.

From what I have heard, Asuka is near the top of the line quality - which in turn makes the price likewise. I have looked into perhaps making a book through Blurb (Believe that is the company name)

I'm a happy user of AsukaBook. I use their Hardcover Bookbound EX, which is their top model. Excellent service, great product.

Another company that you might want to consider is the 3500 series from Leather Craftsmen. I'm placing an order for a sample book for myself one of these days. 3500 is their top selling book right now. I had recently attended one of their client orientation programs and got to touch/feel their books. Superb products, excellent craftsmanship! They've been around since several decades. Price is a bit high but you get what you pay for. I've heard several positive reviews about their products.

Other prominent names are GraphiStudio, Queensberry, La-Vie (top-flight).
