I desperately need/want one JUST LIKE IT! Too many books...but I'm helpless in their sway. A home is soulless without at least 100 books... I love your bookcase!!

Keep up the Good Life! Cheers, Dan Hey Marisa,

I love books, too, and have recently (last year) integrated Ted's collections into my own library. My fantasy home includes floor-to-ceiling shelves a lot like yours!

Craziness! @Diane, I hear you. It's taken real effort to pare down my book collection over the last several years, but it's down to a manageable size now. Whatever I buy, it definitely has to fit in the "irresistible" or "impossible to find any other way" categories. (Some of my interests are sufficiently eclectic that the latter classification allows more into the collection than the former...) So this is what happens when two book hoarders live together.

You'll have to see the library at Hilary's house. The two of you, I see, have something in common. Holy Library, Marisa. You’ll have to see the library at Hilary’s house.

That may be because I have a horror of silverfish. Wouldn't you love to have your own private librarian like the Queen of England and you could just collect them all willy-nilly. Now I will only buy the most irresistible books and give them away as soon as I can. The rest I borrow.
