As the functions of the home and the workplace begin to merge, living with books has become an art in itself. Living with Books explores the many different ways in which books can play a part in the character of a house or apartment. Chapters are devoted to separate rooms, looking in turn at libraries, home offices, reception rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms. There is a chapter on caring for books and a practical section with technical hints on planning and building your own bookshelves. The emphasis is on the modern home. Special feature spreads in each chapter cover such topics as the evolution of the bookshp into a home from home, artists' books and decorative bindings. --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

This is an inspirational book that explores over 150 ways in which books can not only be stored, but made to play a full part in the character of a home, be it large or small, minimalist or full of cluttered charm. Books are among the commonest but most treasured possessions in a home, yet their storage and display is often neglected and not given serious consideration as part of the interior design - something all the more necessary as the functions of home and workplace now often merge. Chapters are devoted to separate rooms, looking in turn at reception rooms, home offices, and libraries, as well as kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, with over 180 colour photographs from around the world providing a wealth of inspiration. Ingenious space-saving devices are illustrated for storing books in odd spaces within the home - for example in staircases, corridors, and hallways. There is a chapter on caring for books, plus practical pages providing useful technical hints for planning and building bookshelves (scale, proportion, materials, fittings, etc), complete with illustrated step-by-step instructions showing how to carry out your own imaginative book-storage projects. Special double-page features appear in each chapter on topics such as ingenious designer solutions, book plates, and creating furniture out of books. --このテキストは、 ペーパーバック 版に関連付けられています。

Some people never have more than a shelf or two of books. Others are more committed: they hoard books, rearrange them, and seldom get rid of any. Living with Books, aimed at the latter group, addresses the challenges and joys of a home masquerading as a library, from storage to display to the use of books as structural elements and furniture. Each chapter covers a different room and the special way that books can exist in or enhance that space. Obvious areas such as dens and offices are covered, along with more daring places such as hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Special features include a closer look at the care and display of decorative books, decorative papers, and bookplates, and a final chapter on custom-building bookshelves to suit every home. Over 200 color photos and illustrations and five step-by-step bookshelf building projects are included.
