Books fulfil myriad functions in our lives. They provide essential
information, foster enthusiasms and spark memories. But these
personal treasures also add colour and a true sense of personality
to our homes. Books Make a Home explores the important role they
play as Decoration, as well as functional items. Author and
bibliophile Damian Thompson tours the rooms of the home in turn -
Living Rooms, Home Libraries & Studies, Kitchens, Bedrooms
& Bathrooms, Corridors & Staircases and Children's Rooms -
discovering a host of techniques for stacking, shelving and
closeting volumes, and illustrating how each space can be brought
to life by books. Alongside inspirational photography is a wealth
of practical design solutions for each space and every size of
collection. You will learn how to make the best use of existing
storage and create new space for an ever-growing collection; how to
combine books with other personal effects to create eye-catching
displays; and helpful feature spreads will illustrate how to
organize and care for your books. Beautifully presented and
elegantly written, scattered with quotes from famous readers
throughout, Books Make a Home is an insightful guide to enjoying
books with the eye as well as with the mind.
