English term or phrase: hefty coffee table tomes
I’ve seen some hefty coffee table tomes covering Nasa photography, but this is one of those books that as a space and photography fan I’d appreciate as a gift. I’ve lots of books about space exploration in the 60’s/70’s but ‘Hasselblad and the moon landings’ added something new. -

PT-BR, please!
