oh my… George… i want to move in there. I have never seen so ingenious a way to store all my books. i’m in love.

All I can think of is how musty the books would get on the staircase.
February 25th, 2008 at 9:54 am
books would get musty dusty anywhere. bookcases or staircases.

But books in high-traffic areas definitely get mustier faster, especially when they are so close to the floor.

I think we’re missing the more important consideration here: do you want the same books you may hold near your face near your feet?

Close to feet = musty
February 25th, 2008 at 11:13 am
i’m disagreeing, Anne C, on the semantics. Musty = Damp. not feety. (then we can argue about the meaning of the word semantics.

I live with a semantician. Our books are actually kind of sandy, but I think that has something to do with our children.
I have to go look up musty now. I didn’t know it meant damp! Bookninja is good for my vocabulary, if not for my work…

Should have said semanticist. Yikes. Am not fully functional in English this Monday morning.

well, Anne C. It doesnt mean damp, but mustiness comes from dampness. If you stored your books in the basement, they’d get musty.

My eyes say “wow” my gut says “pure gluttony”. I bet a local library would love to scoop out some of the stairs. Yost Levi and I agree that books are for reading – not hoarding. All the same, we understand the draw to this biblioporn as we salivate, trying to look away.
