Ohhhhh.......

I haven't posted any drool-worthy library pics for a while. This one will make up for that, and cause yearning to a degree that almost seems cruel. See here for more libraries of the rich and famous. (I am surprised, I confess, at how many of them have utterly pristine, perfectly matched sets of what I can only assume are decoration-only books — clearly untouched by the hand of an actual reader.)



EDIT! Make sure you actually do click on the link to the other Hearst library, too. (Thanks for the prompt, Andrew.)

Thanks to Eneit Culcairn for the original link.
