... post pictures on this board, but I'd love to see pictures of others' libraries. My favorite dream book on the subject is At Home With Books, but so many of those libraries, beautiful though they may be, are in "castles". I'd love to see "real people's" libraries! Thanks! I visited INFJ friends last weekend, "The Pod." And as it happened Powell's didn't have Estelle Ellis's glorious At Home with Books, so I spent about as much as I would have on it on five other books -most of them books about books! I forgot Lulu's autobiography, though.

... As it happened Powell's didn't have Ellis's At Home with Books, so I spent about as much as I would have on it on five other books, most of them books about books! Books that Changed the World by Robert B. Downs; The Book on the Bookshelf by Henry Petroski; The Voynich Manuscript ... I'll be at Powell's City of Books in Portland, Oregon this weekend. At Home with Books by Estelle Ellis is on my list -I recall it quite fondly from my last bookstore job back in the day. One of its booklovers, surprisingly, is Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones!
