We have to do with so many books, that we use one flat with 3 rooms only for books and (mind: we are not booksellers - we work with them in form of writing/commenting). My husband gave 7000 books of German crime novels (often very, very old ones - nobody collected 'that trash' in the good old days starting at 1890) to the Schiller Literatur Archiv in Marbach, and I thought: well, that's a fine thing: others can write about those rare books too - and we have more place on the shelves. Well - as soon as I turned round (actually that lasted a year) - there they were, other ones, sitting on the shelves, and humming...Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510773540672751770.post-36352723571167659392010-08-27T12:56:47.795+10:002010-08-27T12:56:47.795+10:00Wow - I love your book shelves and so organised!

Ann started me and now you've really got me all wistful, remembering the countless hours spent reading as a small child and discovering imaginary worlds. I am a passionate reader but since I moved to Planet Baby five years ago, I've had very little time to read. Our books are in the shed whilst the pixies' bookcases are filled to bursting (how does that work?). One day I will find my friends again - having a proper library with a sliding ladder (oh, Tina, you're a girl after my own heart) is one of my fantasies!

I LOVE books too:) Most of ours are packed away in trunks etc...as our house is so small, but I want to install one of those fabulous wall libraries with a movable ladder one day...I also LOVE the smell of old books and libraries, is that weird?
