Best books in the world...

If you have not seen this series of books, go check them out. The series began in 1958 with This is Paris and continued through ten more editions including This is New York, This is London, and This is San Francisco. I first saw them in a cafe about a month ago in New York and completely fell in love with them. If you're looking for a great last minute present for the kids or for yourself, pick one of these books up.

On the more modern side...

Over four hundred pages and 25 lbs of bitchin' poster art. If you ever get tired of looking at it (which is unlikely), you can always use it as an anchor for your dinghy.
