   It has just about everything I love … of course, it goes without saying, the book, but also a very comfy chair with run-up, a library table and chairs so you can spread out large books or have friends in for coffee, shelves that are not-too-high, and even a ladder for the top shelves, lamps all along the shelves as well as overhead chandelier, and a lovely lectern, as well as the table, for large volumes. I even like the dark colour of the shelves and all the pretty pale green tones of carpet, chair and floral curtains, which mirror what I suspect is a lovely garden. A super space, I love it. (There is even some empty shelf space right at the top for more books …)

   I like it very very much — the chair is a huge plus as for some reason I prefer to read with my feet up. I would paint the bookshelves — though they are very impressive and distinctive, I don’t really like dark wood. Interesting having a painting hanging in the middle, too — slightly annoying if you wanted a book that was underneath!
