I've spent the past 5 years building a home library for my daughter. This is one of the library's annexes in her bedroom closet.

Book inscriptions are the best. Especially when you pull out a book for some other reason and spot a personal message you had totally forgotten about. Paul wrote this during the period we cowrote the “Stereotype” column in Print magazine. He already had a column and generously offered to share it with me. Sometimes we used it for good-natured typographic debate – thus the “rival” mention.
History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. Because sometimes, love isn’t just about romance—it’s about deep thoughts, great books, and peaceful moments.

4AM in the quiet of our home. We use our dining room as a library; just like we did in the last house. The previous owners left us a beautiful table and we've lined every wall with bookshelves we had and filled them with books. We added the altar recently and it slowly is becoming the gaming/library room we dreamed of.
“Do you know what few great masterpieces are really worth reading?
“As patriot, sage, and teacher Confucius ranks among the foremost men the world has ever known. You will find his imperishable sayings in Dr. Eliot’s Five-Foot Shelf of Books.
“The ‘Sayings of Confucius’ reflect the moral and political conduct of his ancient day. They also picture the whole dramatic, yes tragic career of this intellectual giant of many centuries.
“Confucius said: ‘Not to be known should not grieve you, grieve that ye know not men.’ The easiest and pleasantest way to read the drama of history is through the eyes and lives of the leading actors.
“As Dr. Eliot points out: ‘It is precisely this encounter with the mental states of other generations which enlarges the outlook and sympathies of the cultured man, and persuades him of the upward tendency of the human race. . . there must be added to that possession acquaintance with the prodigious store of recorded discoveries, experiences and reflections which humanity in its intermittent and irregular progress from barbarism to civilization has acquired and laid up. . .”
[Excerpt from the ad copy]
Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot believed that a careful reading of the 50-volume series of Harvard Classics and following the 11 reading plans included in volume 50 would offer a reader, in the comfort of home, the benefits of a liberal education, entertainment and counsel of history’s greatest creative minds.
The Harvard Classics are now available online for free: www.myharvardclassics.com/categories/20120212

Either you are a bookworm (collector), a non-stop downloader of pdfs or you have your own paperspace library. Maybe one day you will realize everyone else has a library of some sort and that among them, there are people with your same interests, who have great books you have never read or even seen before. So if you are either into borrowing tomes or creating shared folders, creating your shared Home Library can improve your reading life a lot. This workshop invites you to learn how to quickly digitize books and share them with whomever you want all over the world. Afterwards, you will look at your (virtual/physical) shelves like never before.
This event is part of the Post-Digital Publishing Workshop series.
Participation in the workshop with pre-registration only.
Organized by: Florian Cramer, Alessandro Ludovico and Simon Worthington
In association with Creating 010, Hybrid Publishing Consortium, Neural and Mute
The event includes the presentation Cyber Libraries by Nenad Romić (aka Marcell Mars):
» In the catalog of History the Public Library is listed in the category of phenomena that we humans are most proud of. Along with the free public education, public health care, scientific method, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Wikipedia, Free Software... « (Marcell Mars)
It’s one of those almost invisible infrastructures that we start to notice only once they go extinct. A place where all people can get access to all knowledge that can be collected seemed for a long time a dream beyond reach — dependent on the limited resources of rich patrons or unstable budgets of (welfare) states.
Internet, however, as in many other instances, has overturned what we take as given and as possible. The dream of all people getting access to all knowledge suddenly came within our reach. It seemed just an issue of interpreting when the trajectory curves of global personal computer distribution and internet access penetration would finally make universal access to knowledge a reality. However, the actual trajectory of development of public libraries in the age of internet are pointing in the opposite direction – that the phenomena we people are most proud of are being undercut and can easily go extinct.

I finished repainting the regular three walls today and the trim. All I have left is to paint two bookshelves (outside will be the accent wall color and interior will be the color of the regular walls).
I LOVE the new color of the walls. Such a relief to have the color I really wanted.
Accent wall: Behr Ultra Premium Spicy Cayenne
Regular Wall Color: Behr Ultra Premium Pumpkin Butter
Trim: Behr Ultra Premium Ultra White
Ceiling: Behr Ultra Premium Butter Cookie
The wall on the left is the accent wall. I didn't want to show the whole room, b/c it's a mess right now (drop cloths around, etc, etc).
The Origins, Glory & Decline of the Humanist Cursive in Italy 1400-1650, by Stephen Herold (signed by the author). Reed College, 2012. An Essay on Colophons, by Alfred W. Pollard. Burt Franklin, a later printing of the 1905 original. Powell's rare book room is a dangerous place.
Graceful South Asian woman in a series of refined, domestic vignettes—surrounded by books, plants, vintage décor, and soft lighting. The tone is intimate and intelligent, evoking quiet confidence, cultural depth, and creative solitude.
Her hair is styled in a sleek bob, parted to the side and gently curled. Her skin is warm olive in tone, smooth and glowing under soft ambient light. Her face is sculpted and expressive, with intelligent eyes, natural brows, and subtle makeup—showcasing strength, elegance, and self-assurance.
Her figure is slender yet curvy, with poised posture and relaxed hand gestures that convey calm and poise. Her outfits vary: from a denim-on-denim casual look to rust-hued tunics and coral draped shawls—suggesting an Indo-Western aesthetic. Each ensemble is earthy and flattering, accessorised with gold bangles, hoop earrings, chunky watches, and the occasional ethnic necklace, grounding her style in both modernity and heritage.
The setting includes indoor plants, soft furnishings, framed photographs, classic books, and vintage tech (like a black-and-white TV)—giving the feel of an intellectual, feminine space. Her heritage appears to be British-Indian or South Asian, and the atmosphere is one of cultural richness blended with contemporary design.
