Coffee Table Books

About

The best coffee table books do two things well: they look impressive on a shelf, and they reward anyone who actually picks them up. At Hungry Minds, every title is built to do both. The Book: The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding Civilization is a hand-illustrated coffee table book that traces humanity's greatest discoveries across science, engineering, medicine, agriculture, and technology. Illustrated cover to cover by Lev Kaplan, it's the kind of book that starts conversations every time someone notices it. For a more elevated display, the Luxury Edition Set comes with a premium vegan-leather cover, custom bookmark, magnifier, and companion sketchbook.

Gift-box and collector editions change the presentation, while mixed sets add a puzzle or playing cards for a more interactive gift.
