Being a librarian, oddly enough I do actually like books. So how best to house them? Let me count the ways …
I’m assuming that you already have a collection of much loved books to work with. Now the question is, what kind of shelving?
Something sturdy or something that appears to float?

Something to make use of uderutilised space under the stairs?
Under the stairs
or above your head?
Overhead storage
Something arty yet still practical?
Bookworm shelf
And, surely, you’ll need something for your magazines as well.
Magazine storage
And how should the books be arranged? By size? Or colour? Or genre?

Or maybe this one with some more recent titles at the Cardiff Public Library.
