I found these two books at Borders today.
The Melbourne Book: A History of Now by Maree Coote
This book is very informative. It is not a guidebook for tourists but it shows the reader what kind of a city Melbourne is, from its history to culture to fashion to local famous people.
When We Think about Melbourne: The imagination of a city by Jenny Sinclair
This is a book for somebody who has lived in Melbourne. Again it is not a guidebook. It starts by introducing the Melway reference concept and followed by other iconic locations which every Melburnian would feel familiar with.
Their total price is around $100. I didn't buy either of them. But they are good options for coffee table books. Both of them would put a smile on your face if you have lived in Melbourne for a while.
