This home has surprises everywhere - a secret passage behind a bookcase here, a spiral staircase going up to a tiny cushioned reading nook there. It's an ordinary reading collection...until I randomly come upon a first edition of Steinbeck or Hemingw
Stegner, Shakespeare, Murie. “And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." This first edition was once in Mardy Murie’s collection. She
"The Robinsons turned the dining room into their library. Along one of its walls are the cassette recordings of her interviews with every famous rock-and-roll musician you can think of. The room that had been Richard’s office before he pas
So much to explore this weekend at the Virtual Artists' Book Fair from Printed Matter - art, books, and interesting people from all over the world. A few delights from the 400 exhibitors that caught my eye: Book Wing by @callytrench at @ambruno (Lond
Do you remember the first book that felt special to you, as a child? So magical or beautiful or strangely wonderful, you couldn't believe you were allowed to touch it? I love curating home libraries for adults, but children's book collections still h
We bring order to chaos - the sort of chaos that's inevitable in a lifetime of reading, of culture and literature, of loving books so much that it's hard to get rid of them. In process shot: one corner of an organization project in the Dallas area. W
Don't overlook the details. Tortoise magnifier headed to a home library design project (though I'm tempted to keep him here with me). Sidenote: not to worry, rare book friends, this is a reprint of a rather old map in a spanking new book. No heavy tu
So many questions about this charming 1915 Crown Heights home of @thomas.gensemer and @gbrotman - I'm most curious about the art on the stacks of books beneath. It's hard to execute such a thing in a space without looking kitschy or cutesy, which her
17th c. ceramic hand-warmers in book form - what a charming ode to humanity's timeless love of books. Note details like clasps and raised bands, and the creativity of painting on the fore-edge, perhaps alluding to the beauty of a book's contents. Br
Early guidebooks double as history books and gazetteers, documenting when features were named, when they were first climbed, and how the landscape might have changed through things like rockfall or glacier recession. Pictured here, the first edition
Finding quality books in bright colors is simple. Finding 500 dark-spined classics? Not a problem. It's more of a challenge to find neutrals and light colors. And I'm not talking about books-by-the-foot, I'm talking about the best books out there...
Happy 2021: here's to a time when we can be together in unruly crowds of beautiful people, once more, in friends’ homes (exploring one another’s libraries), at glamorous parties, at book fairs, and just around town. Pictured here: Skatin
Billiards room + library all in one. Not to mention books in every room possible, books as the common denominator of the home? My true preference.
Why do books go so well with Christmas decorations? Missing holiday trunk shows and casual photo shoots of a pre-COVID Christmas past with friends of Foxtail @twentytwohome and @lindleyrustphoto - Always a pleasure to introduce rare books to book lov
Packing up holiday delights, on their way to a few friends and colleagues of Foxtail Books. I'm particularly taken with our new hand-marbled bookmarks, by the talented @stoneandvein in Brooklyn. In home libraries and in each reading experience, the d
Rich in culture: a home library just feels right when the books and the objects speak the same language. In this case world history with an emphasis on Latin America (though organization is alphabetical by author).
Monday Mood. 1879 portrait of French novelist and art critic Louis Edmond Duranty in his library, by Édouard Manet. Years earlier (1870), the gentlemen had fought a duel (after one of Duranty's reviews came out). Zola was Manet's second and D
I so often work with books about the American West. And I'm way too quick to casually remark on how “young” the history of this region is. The history of the West is ancient -- and it's still all around us, if we go looking for it. Quic
