let's keep this thread about the books, mkay?
nabbed this off eBay..Urs Fischer Shovel In A Hole.
It's out of print now, I wished I had purchased it when it came out, had no idea it would go oop so soon. Excellentttt monograph. Nice size.

Considering this next. It's pretty rad.

not my type of thing so couldn't comment, but the used price on amazon ensures it'd be a good blind bet.
i actually just snagged that sarah moon box set on amazon last friday because it dropped to 150. nice to see it posted here as well. can't say i do the coffee table book routine, but i've had a really bad photobook addiction this whole year.

my collection isn't as impressive as the ones above by any means (not all of them even count as coffee table books)
try to guess which ones were gifts from clueless relatives
one of my favorites is the Japanese Detail Fashion by Sadao Hibi
I bought it for $4 and it has some great detail images of traditional japanese clothing along with some historical information

Vonnegut is very upset to be on the same shelf with Rand.

I think most of the CN books I own have been gifts, but I have definitly noticed how they tend to be pretty vapid, and the quality of the books themselves leave a lot to be desired
Who would you recommend?

i don't really know fashion books so i can't rec them. besides it's all a matter of taste anyway..
i can tell you the nudi book you want is beautifully printed, but the slipcase, rice paper sleeve, and binding is so artisanal (or cheap), it will fall apart on you after a few flip-throughs...not worth the hyped prices, although i've come across $100 copies here and there..
