BOOK SMART "I have hundreds of coffee-table books on art, architecture, design, fashion, travel—my favorite topics," says designer and author Nate Berkus, who's busier than ever with the holiday line of his collection at Target and his upcoming roles as host, judge, and executive producer of American Dream Builders, set to air on NBC this spring. "If I weren't doing design, I'd work in jewelry. It's such a passion of mine, and Bulgari: Serpenti Collection totally sums up why. It captures the drama and mystery of Bulgari pieces, and why they have such an enduring allure." Bulgari (Assouline; $120). Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, 1555 N.
