If there’s one thing I love more than books, it’s bookcases. I have three in my bedroom and they’re packed full. I hate having to store the rest of my babies in boxes, so last night I started searching for unit number four, something affordable that would mesh with the rest of the room. Clearly, I failed. *sigh* I especially love the Faulkner Library Cabinet. Must. Resist. Urge to cry.
Clockwise from top left: First edition printed by Obelisk Press, Flamingo, a Russian edition (if you know the publisher, let me know!), and Grove Press.
