I've finally got my bookshelves (or more grandly - The Library) tidy , a veiw to the north . I now think I know where all my books are and although to the untrained eye it appears a jumble .
The veiw to the south , rather awkward trying to photograph them without clambering over the spare bed etc .The shelves are adorned with various knick-nacks , memorabilia and my collection of WW1 pilot/aircrew figures . I'm pleased to have got it done and slightly alarmed at the number books that have been taken to various charity shops , but I feel strangly cleansed and rather pleased.(click on the photos to enlarge and peruse the shelves)
A great looking library.
ReplyDeleteBut, shelved two-deep with more laid horizontally on top and then pinned in place by figures - much as I regret some of my down-sizing when I moved I am so pleased to have rid these features from my, now, 'more select' collection, albeit it's already growing...
You should have seen it before
DeleteYeah - very nice. I’m looking along your shelves and, for a fair few of ‘em, saying “got it, got it, got it” as well as the occasional “ooooh - that looks interesting” (although Amazon isn’t being especially helpful of filling the few “holes” in my wants list).
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Geoff
Must admit I love peering at people's bookshelves
DeleteIt looks just the place for reading and ruminating, and your book collection looks to be a fine one. Is there a reading chair to hand there, or is that in another place?
ReplyDeleteI can lounge on the spare bed , but I usualy read downstairs
DeleteA very nice collection and you have got it looking grand, most of my books are in boxes, something I really have to sort out!
ReplyDeleteA fine looking library Tony…
ReplyDeleteIt’s certainly a lot tidier than mine at the moment…
All the best. Aly
Thanks, it's tidy for the moment.!
DeleteSure have a lot of Books- are they all Toy Soldier- Wargames titles?
ReplyDeleteI do like books - a lot of history and archaeology titles and a good smattering of wargaming titles
DeleteToy soldiers and books, my two favorite things! It looks great to me Tony, and a wonderful place to while away the hours!
ReplyDeleteYes Toy Soldiers and books go together well .
DeleteWhere did you acquire those fine looking bookshelves?
ReplyDeleteA friend who was a woodworker made them for me years ago , more or less in situ .
