Whenever I walk into an Anthropologie, the closest one is at The Sommerset Collection in Troy, MI., I always am drawn to their clever collection of books. Whomever buys for them does an amazing job of selecting the unique and inspiring.

Letting nature write the menu, Slow Food advocates Jeff Crump and Bettina Schormann offer up the most delicious of what each season provides. Tender, green things in spring.

Any great books you are wishing for? Please share your ideas, I would love to hear them!
I might have to add a few of those books to my Christmas list as well. I have heard great things "A Perfectly Kept House Is The Sign Of A Misspent Life".
