...Beautiful! Looks like a happy, cozy place to be. <br /><br />Do you remember books with or without dust jackets? As much as I love the fancy (or not so, in some cases) artwork on dust jackets, part of me longs to yank them off every book I own and savor the shiny letters embossed on the spines.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806372610090186350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059235780930406044.post-53283953157628676772010-08-20T09:54:25.822-05:002010-08-20T09:54:25.822-05:00I think your bookshelf looks perfectly lovely.

And if your goal is to never allow me to peruse its presumably equally lovely contents on my own, my mind flowing from one literary topic to another as easily as my eyes glide from left to right, or right to left, or up to down, or down to up, while judging your taste in books and seeing where our interests overlap and you may have something to offer me, then your organizational system is also perfectly successful. I just won't be able to handle all the topical skipping around required to study your bookshelves in detail.<br /><br />But seriously, how have you organized a series of books by the same author, where each book is a different color?
