We can't buy it at present, which is a terrible shame. But, last night he suddenly asked me where on earth I'd put the books..."There's not much room there for books," he said. I told him that the study area on the second floor with all the built in book shelves would be an excellent start. To which he replied that it would barely scratch the surface. Then I mentioned the wall between two recessed sliding doors in a wide corridor space (ten foot ceilings...) - got a speculative look about that one. Then informed him that, in keeping with the period of the house, running custom built timber bookcases underneath the curved walls of windows would create oodles of space for more.... At which point, he cracked up laughing. As I said to him, finding room to fit books isn't a problem when you've had lots of practice!<br /><br />It's hard to learn to live with a book junkie!<br /><br />The library is incredible, isn't it. I thought about the light too - but figured they have the really fragile manuscripts stored elsewhere.<br /><br />KKazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883203750700550391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223421075357845155.post-91958534246970318662012-06-10T15:12:44.601-07:002012-06-10T15:12:44.601-07:00Hi, Kaz!

I love that it's very well lighted! And it gets natural lights at that! Although I did read that the sun can get really harsh on books, but I'm sure that the library knows that and has its own way of dealing with it, especially if it's been around for several years already!Peter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17363239232633174946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223421075357845155.post-40895459886760378412012-06-09T23:41:39.252-07:002012-06-09T23:41:39.252-07:00With you on that one, Jan!
