(*) Books to the ceiling,

books to the sky.
My piles of books are
a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by
the time I read them.
by Arnold Lobel

Book collecting is a very addictive hobby!

Thanks, everyone! It was fun deciding which books to use and getting them up there! They only fell on me once! And none of them were damaged, although I ended up with a few bruises. Book collecting is one of the best vices one can have, short of photography that is! ~Sharon

One of my little hobbies is collecting old books. I don't have many, but what I do have I thoroughly enjoy. My favourite one is The Ladies Guide, published in the late 1800's. Some interesting stuff in that, funny too because it's so serious! Glad I wasn't a lady back then. So....I think this is a fantastic photo, cos I love the subject, composition and ALL those old books!

I have to agree what was already said. Great perspective.

elips, Geat photo. I really like the diagonal framing. I like the look of the old books and the old door knob. The off color books (as in blue and green) near the top. Well done. E-
