Pretend to Be Fancy Hardcover Book

Let’s be honest. Some books are purchased to be read cover to cover. Others quietly spend their lives making every cocktail table in America look considerably more interesting.

Pretend to Be Fancy Book manages to do both. Written by Whitney Marston Pierce, this playful hardcover is filled with wit and style, while its bright pink striped cover and gold lettering earn it permanent front-row placement on a stack of coffee table books. Whether it’s sitting beside a ginger jar, tucked onto a bar cart, or perched on a bedside table, it’s exactly the sort of object that suggests someone in the house owns excellent stationery.

If you’re still debating it, your coffee table has already voted yes.
