Book spaces
Well it looks like I didn't win my 75 popular penguins. Shame. I know, I said I didn't necessarily want all 75 of them anyway, but who doesn't like winning prizes even so?! (And I later discovered you could choose your own, which was more appealing.) The other thing is, these 75 books came in a custom-made designer, hand-crafted, recycled hardwood bookcase by Mark Tuckey, so I was keen on that.
However, when I saw a picture of said marvellous bookcase, I nearly laughed out loud, because, much as I actually do like this bookcase, I also think I could make it myself (seriously!). But it's a really good idea for squeezing extra books in here and there. So I thought I'd share the photo for you fellow book-gatherer and house-decorator types. With this bookcase idea, perhaps I'm not running out of room for books after all! (One of my brothers-in-law is fond of woodworking, and likes to make us things for gifts, so I am thinking of putting in an order.)
