Some interesting placement of books. What do you think? I do have to say it bugs me when people style books in a way that says don't even think of picking me up and reading me. I am really a prop for this piece of crap shell on top of me. I have never been browsed. I am not reaching my destiny.

But, anyhoo.....

  2. Guilty as charged! Although I try to do it in a way that lets you get to the books if you want to read it. I mean, that is what they're for, right? "Piece of crap shell." LOL!

  3. i'm with you! books are for reading! it is fine to display them in a beautiful manner, but they are still made for reading, and must be accessible.

    a while ago i saw some designer had wrapped all of his/her books in brown paper. no titles showing on the sides. RETARDED. absolutely retarded and unforgivable.

  6. i like the middle one too.
    but i definitely know what you mean about books that are physically impossible to read.
    however, i think i might retire some of my penguins to a frame
    for a little while at least...

  7. You said it sister! Read on with your bad self! By the way, did I ever tell you how much I loved the book by the dad about his experience with each of his little ones. A lot, I tell ya. That's how much. Thanks for the recommendation. Anything irresistible on your reading list as of late???

  8. i agree. although the books in the second picture look more like display art pieces, or antiques not to be touched a lot rather than books to be read. i am slightly torn on this...

  9. mfamb-Totally agree. Love the second image as I believe it is a true book lover and a treasured collection. No problem with that at all over here.
