Bookcases

 

I think you can tell a lot about a person from their bookcases - or lack of them. This is just one of GB’s. It is wonderfully universal in its variety. Reference works on Native Americans are cheek by jowl with books on art, foreign lands, gardening, language, natural history and many other subjects. Nelson’s War sits next to a book on the Crosville bus company and William Hazlitt is in close proximity to Billy Connolly. There is a book here for everyone. Even the fiction ranges from Marie Corelli to Philip Pullman.
