"The Coffee Table Coffee Table Book"
Alexander Payne, James Zemaitis, Black Dog Publishing (2003), via RIBA Bookshops
" 'The Coffee Table Coffee Table Book' is both a light-hearted homage and studied reference guide to this essential yet overlooked piece of furniture.
The coffee table is an often ignored piece of furniture that is central to every well-bred living room..."
"...Texts will include a history of the coffee table by design curators Alexander Payne and James Zemaitis...."
Yes, someone has apparently written a history of the coffee table - and put it in a coffee table book.
After researching two posts on subjects that have found their way into coffee table books - those outsized, profusely illustrated volumes designed for show as much as for content - I wondered if someone had delved into the coffee table's past.
Didn't take long to find this - and my guess is that there's more out there.
I'm still seriously behind (more in "Lemming Tracks: The Lemming's Got to Take Care of His Family" (September 11, 2009)), so I'll leave it at this one book, and move on.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
