FAVOURITES | Coffee Table Books for Shoots and Styling

Coffee table books are an ideal way to add a little style and substance to your tables, shelves and bookcases. On shoot days they're also the perfect prop; offering height changes and adding interest to a shot, or story, without distracting from the product.

Many of these make up my personal collection and I use them again and again, in different ways, for set ups. Stack in multiples of threes, and top with a selection of candles, greenery or vases of flowers for an easily styled display. Click the covers for links to buy.
