My friend's bookstore uses books as insulation. In the winter I pulled one out to look at and got blasted with a bust of cold wind.

That book desk also looks pretty awesome!

Am I the only one who took the Chair photo, flipped it upside down and magnified it? Had to check out the titles, fearing there might be a book that I desperately needed. Fortunately, it was the same abundant crap I wade through in every thrift store.

I didn't, Art, but I was tempted.

It annoys me to no end when I walk into a library or bookstore and see that they've ripped the covers off of old paperbacks to pin them to the wall or something. Especially when its something good like Thompson or Williams.

Love it. Don't have quite enough for the large structure shown, but I'm getting there, much to my gal's dismay.
Particularly like the bookshelves, desks, ball gown and mural.

The Kindle case seems like a good idea. Perhaps I can make one from my signed, first edition Dan Rhodes novel.
