February is the perfect time to show love with a book! As a treat to yourself, your bff, your kids, or your romantic partner, giving books is a beautiful love language. Some special highlights at Picture Book right now include Love Songs: Photography and Intimacy, an electrifying art book for your coffee table featuring photographers that photographers that explore love, desire and intimacy in all their complex and contradictory ways like Nan Goldin and Nobuyoshi Araki. Couplets: A Love Story, Maggie Millner’s captivating, seductive debut is a love story in poems that explores obsession, gender, identity, and the art and act of literary transformation. In rhyming couplets and prose vignettes, Couplets chronicles the strictures, structures, and pitfalls of relationships—the mirroring, the pleasing, the small jealousies and disappointments—and how the people we love can show us who we truly are.
