After some great results on the shirt thread, i'm back to milk the collective, but this time not for a new garment, but this time a gift for a lady!! No, not like that! 😀

I need something like a glossy coffee table type book....

This particular person is keen on the outdoors, mountains, cycling, skiing etc..... beautiful photos kind of thing.....any proper cool adventure books etc

Has anyone any recommendations?

I'm going to have a browse of the Taschens site to see if they have anything, other than that, i'm stumped!

Thanks in advance!!

Waymaking: An Anthology of Women’s Adventure Writing, Poetry and Art. It's not so much a big glossy table book, but it has a simple cover, it's chunky and most importantly it's a great read.

Gaudi's architecture; Taschen had, I think, a book about Sagrada Familia specifically.
For something a bit more gritty - Don McCullin's Vietnam war photos.
For quirky - Russian bus stops,vol 1 and/or2.
For a wow factor - Moscow metro stations.

Is it possible for you to visit your local bookshop (they are struggling atm due to Amazon)? Where you can actually see the books, browse and ask advice.
