So my hunnie always goes all out for me. I do lots for him, too, but he always gets me JUST what I'd like as far as gifts or anything else goes.

He's really into architecture and looking at models and floor plans, etc. For Valentine's Day, he's been saying he wants a book with lots of pictures like that of the World Trade Center towers.

I found a few just through a shallow search:
http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_books2.php?book_id=10875794&search=The%20World%20Trade%20Center%3A%20A%20Tribute&mode=about_architecture

http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?isbn=9781568983516&nrd=1&found=1&search=Twin%20Towers%20Remembered&mode=about_architecture&

But I'm not sure those are what he wants... I'm really thinking something akin to a coffee table book.

Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts?

My suggestion is that there are such huge numbers of beautiful architecture coffee-table books, that I can't personally tell you what your man would like. You need to go to a bookshop and browse, infuse the beauty for yourself, and decide what would most please your guy.

Barnes and Noble is your friend. You have to ask him what a book like the world trade center towers is.

To me, I think it would mean books of skyscrapers. Books like that always seem to be in the bargain bin at
our Barnes and Noble at that.
The problem with buying the book online is you don't know if it is a picture book or it has 2 photo's in 400 pages.

I was kidding. Actually i agree with the above posters that you can't go wrong with a bookstore gift card.
