"  Nearly everyone on our editorial staff boasts a pair of Frye boots (Melissa Button, here!), so this 150-year retrospective, Frye: The Boots That Made History ($75, Rizzoli) authored by Marc Kristal, deserves an automatic spot on our coffee tables. Highlights include contributions by musicians James Taylor and Brad Paisley, portraits of John Lennon and John Mellencamp sporting their pairs, and vintage nostalgia-inducing advertisements, like the ones below. (This rich history and imagery make up for the\u2014as I see it\u2014unnecessary full-page spreads of models, which make up much of the end of the book.) As Taylor says, Frye boots are, &amp;quot;Unpolished, unadorned, elemental, simple, durable, comfortable, and American to the roots.&amp;quot; Just our style!   ----- Plus:More products, decorating trends, and design inspiration we love \u00BB24 amazing kitchen makeovers \u00BB  What&amp;#039;s hot?
