Seinfeld Coffee Table Book

It was noticed back in the 1960s that coffee tables needed a special touch of sorts. Noticing that coffee tables had made their way into every home and office, David Bower created the first coffee table book. Defined as a large book, easy to leaf through with many photos and not-so-much text, the books are a great conversation starter. Seinfeld's Coffee Table Book is the brainchild of Jerry's neighbor Kramer. He noticed one day that there were all types of coffee table books, but no coffee table books on coffee tables.

Seinfeld's Coffee Table Book has been a topic of conversation in and of itself since the episode aired in the early nineties. Those lavishly large books offer us information on art, photography, and architecture, along with many other subjects as well. Kramer figured there should be a coffee table book for coffee tables. The book would be full of photographs of square coffee tables and every other kind of tables, legs would be built into the back cover, and coasters would be placed into the front cover. You could have a baby coffee table to go with the life size coffee table!

So...what can be done with such a challenge? Should we just roll over and forget about it? Heck, no! It sparked fire in many a people's heart. James Zemaitis and Alexander Pope of Phillips, dePury and Luxembourg auction house saw the famous Seinfeld episode and they started thinking...well, why not make a coffee table coffee table book? In 2003, their book was published, sans the legs and coasters. Since coffee tables have been around for centuries, there was no lack of material. Reviews of the Pope-Zemaitis creation have all been well received.

The Seinfeld Coffee Table Book let loose many an imagination. People have searched far and wide for "the book". It has, as of yet, to be created s Kramer's brilliant stroke of genius dictated. The closest we can get right now is the collector's edition of "Seinfeld" found in the shape of a coffee table. Yep. They sure did it!
