And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Rather high bookshelves. If that door is 6'6" then the top shelf must be getting on for 9' above the floor. The decor suggests the home of an older, more mature person. Climbing ladders to retrieve or replace books maybe not the best arrangement.
We have a triple bookcase in our living room. I peruse the books in them often. And I often find something to read for the second or third time. What a joy!

ReplyDeleteTop shelf is where you put the books you've already read.
DeleteFifi, wearing her maids uniform, always climbs the ladder to put the books away. Garter are mandatory.
DeleteI'd rather have high book shelves that show the books rather than keep the extras in a box somewhere.
DeleteBooks are for looks. They never touch them.
