Bookshelf Basics


Leroy bet me I couldn’t find a pot of gold at the end.

I told him that was a stupid bet because the rainbow was enough.

- Rita Mae Brown

That’s exactly how I feel about my personal library. 

After all of that time spent arranging book jacket covers, in full ombre fashion, who knew the literary tomes would look just as great, simply flipped to display their pages outward? The result is very minimally textural, yet rich; the pages – both antique and freshly purchased – add depth to any space and instantly streamline shelves.

Some organization would obviously be necessary, so that locating a favorite novel would not require tearing your entire library apart. However, I have a feeling this concept could really work to my advantage.

What’s that, Jackson? Oh, you can’t find a single textbook for your grad school classes? Well damn. Guess we will just have to work on our tans in Montauk, instead of that supply chain management paper of yours…
