coffee-table book

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
coffee-table book
a book that is more suitable for display than for reading, typically, an oversize, illustrated book left on the coffee table for visitors to examine. This book is more of a coffee-table book than an art book. I prefer something more scholarly. We purchased a coffee-table book for Jan's birthday.
