I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated – or had significant updates! – but publishing and writing is slow… I’ve been buried in structural novel edits from my publisher, along with writing and researching quite a few articles for Whisky Magazine (I’m very much enjoying non-fiction). I’m actually reading quite a bit these days as well, which makes a change; I’m two-thirds of the way through Anthony Trollope’s Barchester novels, and enjoying them a lot. Anyway, for now, here’s a picture of University Club Library, in New York City. I’m sure even Kindle readers can appreciate this.

Miniature Books Collection
Take a look at Jozsef Tari’s collection of miniature books. It’s certainly one way of saving on space, although I bet reading them isn’t easy.
Home Libraries
I like this one since it features an Eames Lounge chair and Ottoman – a chair I desire very badly that I’m tempted to by a reproduction at a fraction of the cost. The fire is a little too clean for my tastes, and those floorboards could do with being scuffed up, but it’s almost there.
Even more home libraries here.
The Walker Library
“A visit to the Walker Library of the History of Human Imagination is a celebration of human invention. The Library contains some 20,000 volumes and hundreds of museum-level books, manuscripts, maps and artifacts. These precious objects are housed in a unique setting that is itself a work of art.”
“The architecture of the vast room was inspired by the mind-bending designs of artist M.C. Escher; it features multilevel tiers, “floating” platforms, connecting stairways, a glass bridge, illuminated glass panels, dynamic lighting, and specially commissioned art and music.”
Beautiful bookshelves
The Guardian gets in on the bookshelf pr0n action. There’s even a Flickr pool, which is enough to momentarily restore my faith in human nature.
