I have always loved books. Always. But this may be the first time I can say that about a bookshelf as well. Comic books, magazines, art books, encyclopedias (when they still were made of books), fiction books, and anything on history, architecture and health can be found in one stack or another. There are very few genre’s I don’t have at least one printed piece on the topic. Even when as a young child, one of my dreams was to have a library in my home one day, maybe with a fireplace for that way cool ambiance. But I never really thought much about how to make a visually creative place to store my collection.
Today I might have discovered an answer to the storage question. One of my new favorite sites is Bookshelf Porn, a tumblr site dedicated to some of the coolest bookshelves with pictures on the internets.
Bookshelf Porn, giving people a sudden urge to read since 2009.
