I found this image on tumblr. Cool, isn’t it? I would never have thought to turn books backwards on the shelves but the design is so wonderfully graphic… although you would have a really hard time finding the book you want :-).
This would also be a fun, and easy, idea for a pieced quilt!
would be a great low volume quilt. Have been thinking of making one with the courthouse step block this would be easier with just a rail fence style block
thanks for more inspiration!

Have you seen the bookshelf art created using book covers? Check out this video: http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/bespoke-libraries-bring-books-and-design-in-harmony/ or Google Thatcher Wine, the creator. Amazing!

He’s from my home town! Kind of interesting, but I’m mostly interested in reading my books & I want to be able to recognize them at a glance!

Very graphic if not very practical for those of us who read and reference our books.
The older I get the more I think people don’t use their books.

Also – have you checked out http://www.houzz.com? It’s a site where you can spend a LOT of time! Lots and lots and LOTS of pictures of home décor…
What IS the future of physical books now that we’re reading them digitally – no more books in the house! No bookshelves in homes in the future? Hard to imagine.
