See How Nice Our Books Look On Your Bookshelves?



It's a fact. Take this beautiful upward view of Ivebeenreadinglately blogger Levi's supreme collection of Overlook Wodehouse hardbacks. Right ho, indeed. It's always a pleasure to behold people's bookshelves, but sometimes bookshelves can make you beam with delight and pride. Cheers, Levi. A few more Wodehouses and that L clunker on the end will be pushed off left toward the horizon. And it will be nothing but hijinks and snickers for this entire shelf. We here at the Overlook Press salute readers attempts to have beautiful, edifying bookspaces in their apartment. Our elves are already hard at work at the next few Wodehouse titles. Sam the Sudden and Big Money are due in November, Plum Pie and The Girl on the Boat will be in stores March 2008. Start getting your bookshelves ready today.

Thanks for the link; I'm glad you happened across the photo and enjoyed it. Your blog is in my google reader, since I'm a fan of Wodehouse and Crowley and some other of your authors--it was funny to have a photo I recognized pop up this morning!

(But there's a mistake in your post that you should probably correct: they're lovely hardcovers, not paperbacks.)

Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the Aegypt reissues this fall.

Paperbacks? What was I thinking? Cheers to you and your shelves!!

Signs I have considered posting at the public library near Levi's house: "There are never, ever computers available after noon." "Be crazy outside." "If someone knocks on the bathroom door when you're using it, reply." "Stop stealing these books about sex." And finally, "Nothing but hijinks and snickers for this entire shelf."
