Books Books BooksGrowing up with a father in the book business was a little tricky as a child. When you begged to give Twister or the latest groovy thing as a gift, Dad insisted on a book.
"Books are the best presents"... and he was so right. This is an amazing year for books! There are just too many good books to possibly list here—but, for decorating fanatics on your list—don't forget Carolyne Roehm's
A Passion For Interiors, or Emily Evans Eerdman's
