You need to find some way to post phonetically so I can discern your sarcasm.

I think it is the best looking bookshelf ever made. Of course, it is impractical, but on the upside, it contains the reading list of most people posting on SF these days.

Pretty, but you ned ample space or few books for it to make sense. But then, what do I know? We use Ikea.

Do you own this? If so, I see a slight irregularity on the upper left and very middle shelf. The upper left appears a bit tilted to the back and right, whereas the middle seems to be sloped forward.

I really like shelves built-in to walls. Someday, will have a mahogany-paneled library in my country estate. Awesome!

I hope Manton posts his shelves. IIRC, they're quite nice.

Make 'em all white, ditch the cheesy chandelier, and I'm there.

If and when I ever get around to designing my bespoke McMansion, it's going to have more built-ins than you can shake a volume of pretentious poetry at.

I'm also going to make sure that the library smells of rich mahogany to accompany my many leather-bound books.
