Clear your shelves of dog-eared airport novels, forgettable potboilers and half-read works of non-fiction. We asked eminent writers to choose 10 books from their respective fields to make up a vis mere capsule library of indispensable volumes. The only rules were that the books had to be in print and readily available in the UK. From art to science via fiction and memoir, these are their selections for the Guardian's Essential Library of 100 vital books. Collect them, then read them... http://books.guardian.co.uk/guardianessentiallibrary/0,12530,814635,00.html vis mindre
