The Book on the Bookshelf
The Book on the Bookshelf | Henry Petroski
93 posts | 4 read | 45 to read
From the author of the highly praised The Pencil and The Evolution of Useful Things comes another captivating history of the seemingly mundane: the book and its storage. Most of us take for granted that our books are vertical on our shelves with the spines facing out, but Henry Petroski, inveterately curious engineer, didn't. As a result, readers are guided along the astonishing evolution from papyrus scrolls boxed at Alexandria to upright books shelved at the Library of Congress. Unimpeachably researched, enviably written, and charmed with anecdotes from Seneca to Samuel Pepys to a nineteenth-century bibliophile who had to climb over his books to get into bed, The Book on the Bookshelf is indispensable for anyone who loves books. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Today was my two children‘s first day back at school after the COVID-19 shutdown. I spent the morning rearranging our books and creating this lovely little book nook. Best thing? I now have room for more books!!

JennyM Hope they had a good day...and you too! 😊 5y

My husband has been bored since he‘s home more right now due to reduced work at Delta Airlines. So he made me these hanging book shelves ❤️ And I, of course, immediately filled them.

xicanti Those are great! I especially love the top one. 5y

cathysaid @xicanti Those are my favorite, too. Black poplar, cedar and white poplar. 5y

Here is post 2 of 2 of my spooky/scary/creepy/thriller books. I am not sure I will get all of them read this month, but hopefully I will get a chunk of them done. If anyone has suggestions about where I should start or wants to do a buddy read let me know. Or if you want me to read any to review/report back on let me know that too.

This book had been on my tbr list for years. I loved the first portion about the storage of scrolls, codices, chained books, books in presses and on rotating lecterns. The illustrations are a great addition to this book. I was less interested in the engineering of bookstacks in more modern times as it is quite technical, but overall found this book informative and interesting. Do read the appendix which makes me want to re-arrange my own books!

Some Littens (at first @Jess7 ) come up with this idea #tbrcart . I can't do this, because I own tooooo many unread books. I would need several carts for this. But.... As I collect several items for lovely Littens and I want organise them, I bought this as a #giftcart . 😍😘

So I don't show you the decorated edition, because one, two or more Littens will receive envelopes and parcels in the near future. 😂😍💖 #bookmailismyfavouritemail

Bookcase 2 of 2. Unfortunately my new apartment doesn't have a wall long enough to put my bookcases together, which I'm bummed about, but this one is overflowing with ARCs so it's probably better that it's in my room. The ARCs are triple stacked on the right, with more TBRs double stacked on the left.

Looking at everyone's gorgeous shelves on Litsy has made me crave new shelving with less dead space, but these still make me happy for now.

Insightsintobooks Those are beautiful. I get jealous looking at everyone's shelves as I don't have space for any. 6y

The great bookshelf rearrange of 2017/2018 has occurred. Over the year I put books I finish on my headboard/shelf & at the end of the year I move them all over to my bookshelf. Now my headboard is empty but I have no idea where this years books are going to go come December...yikes!! 😱🤔🤓

Ddzmini Looks like you have room for a few more on the bottom 😝📚📚📚📖 7y
Ddzmini Besides there‘s always (my solution) in front of those books 🤣😝 7y
jackilynn @Ddzmini the bottom shelf about the only place lol. There is no way all the books on my sperate "TBR shelf" are going to fit there. The top shelf is already double stacked & the other shelves aren't really deep enough. I am sure I will figure something out.when the time comes. I always do lol 7y
Ddzmini @jackilynn yea sometime my books fall off the shelf‘s and I look over and think a character or something is trying to get my attention 😝🤣🤣🤣 7y
