Beauty in Books

[intertext]

This is almost becoming a meme! From sartorias to me, to lady_schrapnell and back to me, riffs on the pleasures to be had from the physical book.

Here's something to get you drooling, then: the most beautiful libraries in the world.

I wish someone would make a vid with awesome music.

There cannot be too many book memes....

Didn't find the vid, but did see a report of Mythcon and your talk there. Nice!

Wow and wow. You've just given me a great idea: a library vacation. My retirement plan is complete.

Yeah - it seems to make all the pain and angst of being a scholar worthwhile if you could just go and do research at a few of those libraries!

That's just amazing. I sat here scrolling while my tea steeped and then got cold... Thanks for the link!
