January 24

Books, Books, Books...

The image shows the upper halves of four of our bookcases. We have twenty in total. Life without books is unthinkable.

Thank you to Christine for the idea and inspiration to show a few of my books.

I worked for 30 years in a library...I'm happy to have bookless shelves now :))

Walter: My collection of books is much smaller, six shelves. Even so my biggest problem is finding a book when I need it. How do you manage with twenty shelves to search through? V

A paradise for me ! V.

Envy for any wikipedia! Awesome and beautiful bookstore you have, Walter! BV

Following on to Raymond's; it has become an 'I spy with my little eye...' Seems paper has become passé for these next generations, but there is something about the whole reading something tangible...

Wow, I LOOOOVE libraries, ir reveals so much as to who the persons ;living there are! Now I know you love Tintin, you have a big book on his stories, a small rocket from one of the stories, chinese fortune amulets, a metronome (for marking time on the piano) etc. Gorgeous shot

very impressive collection of books, great shot with fine details! V

I am impressed how neat and tidy your book shelves are Walter! Great shot. v

Excellent shot and a real inspiration to see this eclectic collection of wonderful books. V

My goodness!!! This looks exactly like my mom's home. She also has about 20 bookcases (throughout her home)filled to the brim (and beyond)with books: read and reread. This tells me a lot about your personality. What a heart warming image. My home office has one wall of books like this. But when I exceed my book shelves' capacity, the older/less read books go to my mom. The above image was very nicely shot. I like the little mementos and personal items on the shelves along with the books. Plus the books on top of books. As I said, it's just like my mom's home. Yours is a special home!!!

A beautiful collection of books, great shot. V

Great idea for a slice of life image! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has to throw books in on top of books because I've run out of room. V

always nice to see so many books in a private home.V.

positively voluminous...your personal library seems impressive and extensive, and lovingly be-speckled with touching personal artifacts..

Dennis Hoyne		25-Jan-2019 03:26
A fantastic collection, beautifully photographed!

Envious! Most of my books are stored in boxes since I had to move to a small place last year...

Now those are readers bookcases. None of that perfect look at my perfect books that I never actually read type. I love it,Walter. V

I thought for a moment I was looking at some of my bookcases! What a delightfully heartwarming, inspiring and indeed happy sight. Oh, and I spy The Shorter Pepys! V
