A book cover with some books on the shelves

​Living with Books: A Book Lovers Guide to Storing, Displaying, and Caring for Books: Alan Powers, 1999

A useful book with beautiful photographs that take one through how books might be displayed, shelved, stored, and distributed through a house in a room by room tour of the home. The photographs are the value in this lovely volume which seems to wander randomly as the pages progress to include a chapter on books as art and one on bookplates and even finishes with carpentry plans for how to build various kinds of bookshelves.  Filled with good ideas for both the home as well as the potential used book store of one’s dreams.
