Even if couples don't always have a chance to read coffee-table books, the fact is they're a gorgeous blend of art and accessory. Publisher Taschen (
taschen.com) and retailer Dashwood Books (
dashwoodbooks.com) boast superb collections of beautiful tomes on subjects that run the gamut from fashion to photography, many with reasonable price tags. Both allow you to create informal in-store registries. Soon-to-be-marrieds can also register at Amazon (
amazon.com), which stocks coffee-table books (and every type of book, for that matter) often at discount prices.
