The Top Shelf

Some of the pics posted make me want to do an across the pond famous library tour. Think how soothing. Beautiful buildings, amazing history, all those lovely books....


This, on the other hand, leaves me feeling a teensy bit disturbed.

I read about an artist who was doing this after having the book rebound in a way that looked more middle-earthy and then did the painting. The full set ( 3 books) auctioned for over ten grand. Nice to find a niche like that.

^She is seriously talented!!

I'm a huge fan of gilded and painted book edges. I can't read the books in question, for fear of damaging them, but yeah, huge fan.
