  1. This is the coolest bookshelf I have ever seen (and I've seen more than my fair share of bookshelves after I got lost on the third floor of Ikea once). When I move back to the US, I am definitely ordering one of these. Sadly, I'm in the UK at the moment...and a UK design really wouldn't be up to scratch (especially if it's relative in size to this....it might, at best, hold an aspirin bottle or maybe my watch). Still, only a year to go before I head back over to your shores...so I'll keep you on file.

  3. If you add in Alaska then I wonder if there really is an inverse correlation between #of books read and size of the state...

  5. Um, if you're going to add in Alaska, wouldn't you also have to include Hawaii? (Perhaps only big enough to hold bookmarks or reading glasses ...)

  7. I've seen the thing for real and it's huge! It's actually at the opening of his show which is on as we speak. I'm there now. It also costs...wait for it, €650,000! Why have one when you can have two at twice the price.

  8. I feel a desperate need to own this thing.

    650,000? I'll just have to change career. It's worth it.
