Happy Libraryshelfie Day!

The spines on these volumes are fine, but the fore-edges are much more exciting to look at.

Happy #LibraryShelfieDay, bibliofriends! Here are some incunables (books printed before 1501) to help us celebrate in style! 

Happy #LibraryShelfieDay! Today, I’m sharing my fantasy TBR shelf and wearing some new outfits courtesy of @modcloth #partner. Do you organize your shelves by genre? My fantasy shelf is always packed with a ton of books and more to add! I love getting into fantasy worlds so I always make sure these shelves are well stocked with some new reads and backlist reads. It’s also great when I’m on a book buying ban to shop my shelves for what to read next. I love browsing my shelves to see what adventures I’ll be going on this month. Do you like my little selection? Any books on there that you enjoy? #modclothsquad (at Orange County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjogWOlui_/?igshid=1p4qh7m1qow58

It’s #Libraryshelfieday and we can’t miss that! Here are the bottom edges of the velum bindings that hold our great Blaeu atlas, our very favorite 17th-century title in the special collections, all 11 volumes...
