I'm not posting any of my bookcases; too much dust to clean first. But I love posts like these.

the house is long gone now, but my childhood home, built by my parents when I was one year old, held over 6,000 books at any given time, plus tons of great magazines of the day (1950's through late 90's, when my brother and I rented the house from Mom and Dad after they moved out of town to a country house). There wasn't a room in that little place that didn't have books, and I mean even the lone bathroom had them. We four were all taught to read very early, and we all grew up loving to read. My brother, when he bought the house from Mom and Dad in 1990, custom built a little bookcase for the bathroom because the one that was in there was far too large for that tiny space. Wish I had pictures of the house, but after bro sold it to our niece and her husband, much changed (still tons of books...she's a school teacher, he's a nerd (a good one)), and I no longer had access to the house, of course.
