Upstairs on the 4th floor is our book stacks that also hold complete runs of all the journals published by AIP and their 10 member societies. These date back as far as the 1890s and continue to be a much used portion of our collection.

British Library book store, Micawber Street, Hackney, London N1. There are three main floors for book storage with a mezzanine for offices.
This is the bookstacks stairwell in the Regenstein Library on the University of Chicago campus. This is a metaphor for that sinking feeling I get when I spend too much time in the library trying to write a paper without actually getting anywhere.
This splendid alteration to the old Drill Hall was made by John Rennie of Rennie Schurr Adenoff architects to house the Cape Town Central Library. A new free-standing book stack was introduced leaving the original curved steel roof to span across. Does anyone have photos of the way the Drill Hall was before?
ps The roof is curved ... and so is the issue desk itself ... but the curvature of the bookstacks is a fish-eye effect caused by the panorama-maker. This was 5 photos sewn together.

"Uh, Ted? Did you see the last name of the guy who wrote this?"
"Uh, Michael? Did you see who wrote THIS?"

"I need beer, Ted."
"Me too, Michael."
A stack of some of the books I've read in the past two or three weeks. I just realized I've been reading a lot of family fiction lately; these four have one thing in common: skeletons in the family closet.
*For my book groups
For our anniversary, my husband surprised me with a trip to Barter Books, a used bookstore in a converted train station in Alnwick, England.
This was my haul, including 1 book which will eventually be gifted. (and the back cover of "Over the Reefs")
see here for the summary. The final book is "Branan the Pict" - one of those historical fiction books for kids, in this case related a pict and encounters with Saint Columba (I think).
As the shelves empty and the library closes its doors, we all file through and mourn the silence.

These pix show the drawback of being a book addict that owns a bookstore. It is like being an alcoholic bartender.

Today, the church, consecrated in 1294, could hardly be more popular. The beautifully restored building is an attraction in its own right, and yet the installation of a towering, three-storey black steel bookstack in the long, high nave, together with a fashionable if somewhat noisy cafe in the choir, works extraordinarily well. Church and bookshop look as if they might have been made for one another.
The Lifeline bookfair raises money for their phone support line and makes me very bloody happy. I've put some notes on the pic so you can share my joy. You can also embiggen it to get the full glory.
It's raid # 1 because the books are restocked all weekend. AND I AM GOING BACK ON SATURDAY AND ON SUNDAY. If you're in Canberra, it's at EPIC showground and on Sunday from about 2 pm you can fill a bag with whatever you can get your paws on for around $8-$10.
I rode home on my bike with this in a milk crate strapped on with scavenged ropes. You should always hang with anthropologists and sculptors if you find you need ropes from time to time. They always have some nearby.
