Bookshelf Porn

A Christmas tree made of books...why didn't I think of this?

No doubt I am the last person on earth to visit the photoblog Bookshelf Porn, a wonderful site showing thousands of books in situ. It is listed as one of the 'Five top places for a bookish fix' in an article today on The Telegraph.co.uk's book page.

What we have here are photos of books on shelves, in bathtubs, guitar cases and tucked under the stairs.

There are buildings of books - round, square, tall, and squat.

Photos of libraries, shops, and display windows full of books abound. Look for a book-filled refrigerator, a phone booth, and a suitcase. Books here are tumbled and stacked and piled and turned into murals. 

It is a delicious way to spend time among the shelves without ever leaving your easy chair. Enjoy.
