Love this book!
A) It shows libraries of peole adicted to books. Not tidy Better Homes and Gardens bookshelves with a few pretty volumes arranged by color. These people have bookshelves to the ceiling and still have piles on the floor, the tables, the sofas, the chairs... This book understands what it is to be overcome with wonderful books!
B) GREAT book quotes by people that "get it"
C) Pages and pages of resources to build a library. Some are gone since the 1995 copyright, but many still exist.

I didn't find the library I want to recreate, but lots of great ideas anyway.
