books make a home

Books fulfill myriad functions in our lives. They provide information, foster enthusiasms, and spark memories. But these personal treasures also add colour and personality to our homes.  Books Make a Home explores the important role books play as decorative as well as functional items. Bibliophile Damian Thompson tours the rooms of the home in turn – Living Rooms, Home Libraries
& Studies, Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms, Corridors & Staircases and Children’s Rooms – discovering a host of techniques for stacking, shelving and closeting volumes, and a wealth of practical design solutions for each space and every size of collection.
