As the functions of the home and the workplace begin to merge, living with books has become an art in itself. Living with Books explores the many different ways in which books can play a part in the character of a house or apartment. Chapters are devoted to separate rooms, looking in turn at libraries, home offices, reception rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms. There is a chapter on caring for books and a practical section with technical hints on planning and building your own bookshelves. The emphasis is on the modern home. Special feature spreads in each chapter cover such topics as the evolution of the bookshp into a home from home, artists' books and decorative bindings. No library descriptions found. |

I'd heard correctly; it's a bit disappointing. The pictures are great - some really clever solutions and some just gorgeous libraries are included, but the text has less to do with books and libraries than it does about interior design and architectural theory, about which I have mostly derisive opinions.
I gave it an extra half-star though because it includes a few pages at the back with DIY instructions for making different types of bookcases, and I thought that was a nice touch. For that reason and the good pics, I'll hang on to my copy, but I'm awfully glad I found it used and cheap. ( )
