Our books, our shelves
While looking at my photos of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London I realized that I had fixated on the bookshelves.
This is the bookcase of Samuel Pepys (pronounced “Peeps”), circa 1695. Pepys kept a now-famous diary of his life in London during a particularly turbulent time. You can read the daily entries here, or follow Samuel Pepys on Twitter . The feed is at the year 1667.
As for the rest of these beautiful bookshelves, I failed to take note of who designed or owned them. By this time my brain had gone into sensory overload and the taking of snapshots was purely a reflex action.

Hmm, you know, I could actually use a galumphing nautilus bookshelf in my room right about now. Thanks for the idea.
