Ideal Bookshelf

I came across Ideal Bookshelf, the book, before I found out that it actually began as a series of illustrations. Illustrator Jane Mount began painting people’s bookshelves in 2007, naming the series “Ideal Bookshelf”. I agree with what she says on her website which is that we can tell a lot about someone based on their books – it’s how I discover people and their personalities that are sometimes hidden on their bookshelf. This is one book that I would love to add to my very own bookshelf.
