Seduction of the bookshelf

[Don Rice]

Enter the fourth dimension.
(Reading about Loire viticulture - preferably with glass in hand).
One of my favorite things to do.

You have the sexiest book case, Don.

 

[John McIlwain]

That is so cool!

My shelves filled with dog-eared TOR paperbacks look so... shabby... in comparison.

hot!

One of the sad things about being in the used book business in Helsinki is that there just isn't much of a market for old books, so I mostly just sell second hand copies of mystery novels.

Nice. Love the old bindings, and the smell of the aging leather and paper.

har!
(in a sense though you're right - my goal was to capture the books' tactile and visual, even sensual appeal)

Oh there are plenty of those here too. And they are loved.

A very nice mini-essay, thanks Don - as usual.

 

[Ken Schramm]

Book porn.

Of course one could also read the thread title as Don seducing the bookshelf. Which makes the last sentence in his original post just that much more revealing.

But I'm sure that's incorrect.

Books and wine are both forced to stand in all too often for our real favorite thing to do.

Nap!
