Meg’s Gift Guide… for the Book Lover

Today’s guest post by Mimi & Meg is brimming with gorgeous books: in my experience, the go-to gift for the person in your life who “has-it-all.”  Since I’m in London this week, I think I’ll head over to my favorite bookstore on Portobello Road and spend the afternoon browsing… after all, the holidays will be here before we know it!

This is Meg from Mimi & Meg. I am thoroughly enjoying guest posting on Style Notes! For this week’s Gift Guide, I explored books for all types of recipients with covers so attractive they’ll want them on their coffee tables.
