Ikea, The Book
Ikea gives industrial designers a look into the company's most successful designs with its 450-page tome "Ikea, The Book." Stories include how they persuaded various creatives—including the iconic Danish designer Verner Panton—to make an original piece to how Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad turned his vision into an international brand that the rest of the world instantly associates with Scandinavian design.

Successful lyrics decoders got opportunities to win prizes during Jay-Z's recent treasure hunt in support of the recent launch of his new book, but sometimes insight is the prize in and of itself, as "Understand Rap: Explanations of Confusing Rap Lyrics You and Your Grandma Can Understand" proves. Divided into chapters that explore ten categories from fashion to places, the book breaks down the slang and diction of lyrics like "Hockey players pagin' me to practice on my wrist" into plain English (with so much diamond jewelry, my wrist is like an ice rink). This is reading for the whole family.
