A title that will appeal to those interested in book culture as well as furniture and interior design, "Bookshelf" is the first publication to take bookshelf design as its subject. From the conceptual Read-Unread Bookshelf (which weighs books read against those still to be started) to the multi-function Trick (a unit that transforms from shelf-space into a table and two chairs), "Bookshelf" presents over 200 inventive and experimental shelving designs in more than 400 colour illustrations that are sure to covet and inspire. Individual specification details are provided for each bookcase, including materials and documentation, and the accompanying texts by Alex Johnson, author and editor of "The Blog on the Bookshelf", provide a fun and informative look at the history of the bookcase, as well as reflecting on how a new generation of designers have re-imagined a classic. One might have presumed that, with the advent of the e-book, the days of the bookshelf were numbered. In fact, readers are now taking almost as much interest in the furniture that houses their libraries as the books themselves; if the titles in your collection are a reflection of your personality, then so too is the design of your bookshelf.

Like an upmarket catalogue of the world's nicest bookshelves
17. April 2012
Von Julia Flyte
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As the title suggests, this is a book about...bookshelves. No more, no less. It presents photographs of many bookshelves, both bespoke and commercially available (with manufacturer details). If you are interested in interior design and looking for bookshelf inspiration, you will find it here. It's a bit like a very upmarket, gorgeous hardback catalogue. Many of the bookshelves are not terribly functional if you are looking for suggestions to store large numbers of books, but they invariably make up for this by being real talking points in your home. My favourite was a circular hub that had a padded seat inside where children could sit, with shelving on the outside for the books. I want an adult sized version.
This is an interesting book to look through, but I didn't like it as much as Books Make a Home, another book that focuses on book storage. The reason for me is that the latter shows bookshelves in situ, surrounded by furniture, in real homes. Whereas in Bookshelf, everything is shown in isolation on a stark white background. It's very specific. Nice for a browse, but less inspiring (at least to me).

A Picture book for book (shelf) lovers.

Gorgeous photographs of artful book shelves for storing books not on your kindle.
My favorite was "Set 26" (an entire alphabet of letter-shaped furniture.
Lots of ultra modern engineered whimsy. Most too asymmetrical and angular for my taste.
Other fun photos feature book wallpaper and a bookshelf print dress.

Nice collection of bookshelf ideas

I bought this as a gift for my sister, a book lover who lives in an old house that needs every nook and cranny accessed for storage. A lovely book to look at, especially appreciated the "normal" size of it - not an oversized coffee table book. It has some interesting ideas in it, but no instruction on how to source the design, materials or patterns though.
