Fine Print: Best Design Books of 2013

One of the best perks of my job is the opportunity to review books. Although I’m wired 24/7, I love, love, love books; especially rich, glossy, design books. Luckily, I have substantial bookshelves lining my living room, so I kind of need them too. This year I received a number of impressive coffee table books, which line the shelves, and are stacked on the coffee table and the console table behind the sofa. I’m often running behind, so I haven’t had time to do individual blog posts on many of these, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think they’re great. Here’s a quick roundup of the best design books of 2013.

Deal Alert: Baker Warehouse Sale

Love the furniture collections of Barbara Barry and Thomas Pheasant? Both are by Baker. If you’re in the NYC area, take a road trip out to Jersey for the Baker Warehouse Sale. And you needn’t be a designer to go. Baker is offering consumers a large assortment of furniture and accessories, from case goods and upholstered pieces to pillows, lamps, and linens, at clearance pricing. A delivery company will even be on-site to help set up shipping arrangements (for an additional charge), or you can whisk them away yourself, on the spot, with the help of staff.

The PR gals at Baker were kind enough to send photos of a sampling of items that will be available. And here are the details too.
