A title that will appeal to those interested in book culture as
well as furniture and interior design, Bookshelf is the first
publication to take bookshelf design as its subject. From the
conceptual `Read-Unread Bookshelf' (which weighs books read against
those still to be started) to the multi-function `Trick' (a unit
that transforms from shelf-space into a table and two chairs),
Bookshelf presents over 200 inventive and experimental shelving
designs in more than 400 colour illustrations that are sure to
covet and inspire. Individual specification details are provided
for each bookcase, including materials and documentation, and the
accompanying texts by Alex Johnson, author and editor of `The Blog
on the Bookshelf', provide a fun and informative look at the
history of the bookcase, as well as reflecting on how a new
generation of designers have re-imagined a classic. One might have
presumed that, with the advent of the e-book, the days of the
bookshelf were numbered. In fact, readers are now taking almost as
much interest in the furniture that houses their libraries as the
books themselves; if the titles in your collection are a reflection
of your personality, then so too is the design of your bookshelf.
