These are nice, but while I think backwards-facing (is that an oxymoron?) books give a more uniform look, I just can't get behind it. You have to love your books and want to be able to find them. Bibliophile rant over.

Here's a great dining/library combo, well, except, I don't think these folks could be all that serious about finding certain tomes if all of the books are turned backwards! Bibliophiles, before you freak out, this is a very professional and beautiful photo - I assume that was just a styling trick for this shot!

I love this idea for a partially built in, partially floating minilibrary shelving unit in the dining room. It's wondrous to see that many books where I would expect to see fine china.

6. Floating library. Wall-mounted and suspended bookshelves are great for sleek and modern libraries. This straightforward solution makes sweeping easy too.

I love the recessed floating shelves - this could work in the extension! Could even use existing shelves perhaps? Dunno. Warm colours and books (turned around the right way of course) makes this a fabulous open plan area. Note to self: Photo saved to both "library" and "extension" ideabooks.
