"The antique-filled library at Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin, Texas, is called the Garden Library because it overlooks the property’s organic gardens, where more than 1,000 species of herbs, vegetables, wildflowers, and other plants grow. Many of these offerings are incorporated into the chef’s flavorful, nutritious 'conscientious cuisine.' Thanks to the resort’s guest author program, 'For the Love of Books,' the library includes a signed book from each visiting author, including Sandra Brown, Candace Bushnell, and Top Chef star Gail Simmons." - Diana Spechler
