Books fulfil myriad functions in our lives. They provide essential information, foster enthusiasms, and spark memories. But these personal treasures also add color and a true sense of personality to our homes.

Books Make a Home explores the important role they play as Decoration, in addition to functional items. Writer and 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 illustrating how each and every space may also be brought to life by books. Alongside inspirational photography is a wealth of practical design solutions for each and every space and each and every size of collection. You are going to discover ways to make the most efficient use of existing storage and create new space for an ever-growing collection; how to combine books with other personal effects to create eye-catching displays; and helpful feature spreads will illustrate how to organize and maintain your books.

Beautifully presented and elegantly written, scattered with quotes from famous readers all through, Books Make a Home is an insightful guide to enjoying books with the eye in addition to with the mind.
