Great article about reading, books and ebooks. I like books as physical objects, but only because I associate them with the pleasure of reading. It's the actual text which counts, and anything which helps you to read more and read more comfortably has got to be a good thing. We've also got a similar bookshelf problem in our house...

Drool. Forget your fancy home cinemas, if I had millions of pounds to spend, I'd build a library just like this, assuming that I had a home bigger than this library, which I currently don't.

Wonderful solution for a library nestled in among the stair treads to a loft apartment.

Public domain audio book version of Darwin's On the Origin of Species.

Crazy. Calm demonstration of book-binding, backed by a crazy band and wigging-out dancers.

Great series on reading Moby Dick. A bookmark shows that I gave up on p. 121 when I tried reading it years ago. And I'm actually interested in whales!

Good online bookstore for out-of-print or second-hand books.
