This book is a creative idea beautifully and simply brought to life by the art work of Jane Mount. Dozens of writers, artists, designers, and other creative types were asked to write a short essay about their ideal bookshelf next to which Mount paints an image of this individual said shelf. The result is a book filled with hours of interesting viewpoints, inspiration and at least 20 new titles to add to your to be read lists.
The question, what books are on your ideal bookshelf?, is one of those desert island, last meal questions whose answer reflects so much about a personality. Not to mention, technology has wiped away much of the idea or even consideration of the spine of a book. These images remind us how artful a shelf of honest to goodness books can be.
