il senso di coffee-table edition è, come ha detto GAR quello di una edizione di lusso, ma riferito ad un magazine è usato (in senso anche un po' ironico) per descrivere una rivista patinata che è un'accessorio da mostrare, uno status-symbol (se tengo le riviste di Vogue in salotto tutti penseranno che me ne intendo di moda, insomma)

ok, aggiungo un paio di esempi
"Zoo Magazine ha oltre trecento pagine, è stampata su carta patinata e fa un gran bella figura anche come coffee-table magazine."

"Little surprise though, the glossy coffee table magazine encompasses everything from fashion, features, people's stories and current topical issues"

"Less broadly speaking, Seed is a high-concept, high-gloss coffee table magazine for twentysomethings who deem themselves too smart to read Vogue and too cool to read Scientific American."
