I love giving cool, hard-to-find, covetable books as gifts. This is one of them.

From the website: "These alluring photographs of doorbell panels in Florence, Italy, inspired stories that imagine the lives of the people who dwell at each address. Charming, whimsical, and elegant, each story is a perfect match for its photo, balancing the antique, old-world appeal of Florence and the contemporary, gritty realities of a modern city. The photos lay bare a rarely observed side of Florence and the stories capture the spirit of peeking inside the secrets, habits, and desires of a city's inhabitants. Travelers, lovers of Italy, and imaginative wanderers will delight in this beautiful collection, which features hand-drawn lettering and a silk-screened cover."

Who makes books like this anymore? It is a quirky, charming and imaginative book that gives you small snapshots of fictional people who live behind the doorbells collected in the book. It is an exceptional gift and a book that you'll want to keep and re-read. (via Doorbells of Florence)
