Description
Bookshelves are more than just holders of books. They contain values, vibes, and stories that reveal the character of their surroundings. Historian Lydia Pyne explores the lives of these everyday objects, finding meaning in the ways they display and convey information about our contemporary world. In this Object Lessons book, Pyne takes a critical look at the bookshelf's significance, particularly during a time when book culture is often reported to be in decline. By examining various bookshelves, from those in coffee shops to libraries, she uncovers the ways in which they continue to thrive and evolve. This beautifully designed book offers a unique perspective on the bookshelf as a symbol of our shared human experience.
