'The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one' - Oliver Goldsmith

Wow - that's ace!
I'd love a proper library room! :D
I can picture myself being quite content in your space. Just give me a big overstuffed chair and a warm comforter for the winter. ENJOY!
Looks great! Do you keep them arranged alphabetically?
Thanks all :)
The fiction books are in the two big bookcases, and they're arranged alphabetically (author surname).
The small corner one has all my Beatles books and the last couple of bookcases have more Beatles books and all my non-fiction stuff on the paranormal, and my reference books.
I now want to come live with you.
Nice Wodehouse collection. But your David Mitchells have become seperated!
