Gorgeous Coffee Table Books for Pop Culture Fans

The coffee table was missing that perfect coffee table book—until now.

After decorating your home for Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanza, it's even more apparent that our home is one of the places we can truly express ourselves. You've picked out holiday decor that matches your one-of-a-kind style, found the coziest couch to binge-watch your No. 1 Hallmark Christmas romance flick, and selected the perfect coffee table to place your bowl of popcorn on. But if that coffee table currently lays bare — other than that popcorn, of course — a valuable piece of real estate to really let your personality shine is being wasted.

The coffee table book is not only home decor, but also a reflection of an individual's interests and personal style—making it a thoughtful holiday gift for friends and family on your list. Even Jerry Seinfeld's kooky neighbor Kramer understood the importance of a coffee table book when he suggested a coffee table book full of coffee tables (that comes with foldable legs to serve as its own coffee table). There are all kinds of coffee table books that are just as unique and delightful.

Here at ET, we love all things pop culture and we know you do, too. That's why we've found the best coffee table books that will showcase a person's love of current television, fashion, and films that double as awesome gifts this holiday season. Read on to flip through our selection of beautiful coffee table books to find one that will sit center stage in your friends' or families' living rooms.
