Holy cow, this is amazing.

I love this. (I just, in general, seeing how other people live with book collections)

Book-lined London staircase (in case the perspective in the first photo seems weird to you, it is looking DOWN the stairs).

The architect built a little loft bedroom and then on the stairs leading up to it, constructed them so an enormous book collection could be shelved there. (I like how the stair treads, viewed from above, also look like file folders in their shape).

I can imagine climbing those stairs...grabbing a book on my way...stretching out on the daybed...and reading in my own private sanctuary. Awesome.
