I doubt the landlord is going to make him pay for bowed shelves, when the bowing is the fault of the shelves and not the tenant (using a piece of furniture for its intended purpose is considered 'general wear and tear' and is not the responsibility of the tenant to repair).

That said, it's still ugly and eventually those shelves may sag to the point that they don't even stay on their holders. I would recommend getting a thin-ish piece of solid wood (even a 1x2 would work), cutting it to the length of the shelves, and then screwing it into the bottom of each shelf. This will help reinforce them and help to prevent sagging, and is something that you can do with very few tools.

I always muse how similar the names of my occult books are. I guess the mental cardio of having to write and understand everything leaves little originality for titles. Also left out Alchemy and Mysticism by Roob, which is a great book.
2/2
Leviathan, The Corporate State In Action/Italy Under Fascism, Democracy in America vol I and II, Reflections On The Revolution In France, The Federalist Papers, Wealth of Nations vol I and II, book of political notes, and miscelleanious reference books on Heiroglyphs and Egyptian artwork.
Below that is a plastic bag of gun oil, solvent, cleaning rod, soft cleaning tip and bristle tip, leather gun holster, 2 canteens, and my art tablet.
Besides the shelf is a PTR 91 in 308. Aside from that is a roll of Jute twine, a small container of honey, an FN FAL magazine I got somehow, my nightstick, a hatchet, and the hammer I use to kill the rats which have infested my home.

not that anon but why? What's wrong with it?

I've been wanting to get a collection of Lovecraft's stories, I was looking at The New Annotated HP Lovecraft but all the notes and annotations are not that helpful, mostly just pictures and background info. Then I found out that the Penguin editions have annotations by ST Joshi so I decided to go with those instead

[Anonymous No.17497831]

It's cheap shit, basically print-on-demand. The typeface is ugly, the margins are too small etc. That book is the reason I have put off reading Lovecraft.

It's the Complete Works of William Shakespeare and the publisher is Nelson Doubleday. I'm not educated enough on Shakespeare to tell you how it compares to other collections, but each play is introduced by the writings of Professor Edward Dowden, and it has deckled edges which is a nice touch.

[Anonymous No.17502846]

Everything attested by it is either A; a wild misnomer and, if I were to be daring and perhaps hyperbolic, a New Age bastardization of Hermetic through or B: concepts which are 'compiled' but are never stated anywhere in what amounts to the Hermetic 'canon', so to speak. The Seven Principles are rooted solely in the Kybalion, and the document it purports to share a name with doesn't exit.
It is the barest minimum of the occult from it's author attempting to gain credence by putting on the clothes of something it seeks to ape. The Hermetica, which consists of the Corpus Hermeticum Proper, the Asclepius, the Emerald Tablet, and the Kore Cosmu, is the best jumping off point.
However, this is not an insult to you. If you absolutely must have an introduction to 'thinking around corners' or from different perspectives, the Kybalion is an OK introduction.
