The Art of Looking Sideways by Alan Fletcher

First to recommend

If your job requires creativity of any kind, it just might be sparked by opening to a random page in this unusual visual and mental "book". I don't know how to categorize this huge collection of art, random facts, optical illusions, poetry, brain teasers, and so much more.

This large and heavy volume would be very suitable for a coffee table book that would actually be interesting for guests to peruse. They're sure to find things that you never saw because I doubt you will ever sit down and go through the whole thing. But, you're sure to flip it open occasionally to get another dose of whatever appears on the pages before you.

It makes you reimagine the world in which you live, from an entirely different perspective. Every time you open it, there is something new and interesting to learn, about the world, and about your own mind.
