I had to throw out my old bookcases cause they had mould on them
I was a bit dumb and had some of them stacked against a window that got condensation
put all my books in storage while I sorted out the mess
got new ones
putting them in a new position not against a window + painted the backs with anti-mould paint
now that is dry and they're in place I am bringing the boxes of books home

there was a 5th in another room that also got, it wasn't against a window
dunno how that happened
its replacement will be in a different spot
and all bookcases will be regularly checked

This is wholesome. You are a good care taker man.
I recently sent to have some of my books rebound in leather, maybe I'll have a thread for that next week.

Moroccan leather.
i was looking to have a family bible redone and the price was so reasonable i realized i could have 4 or 5 books done.


I chose the The Magic Mountain- a gift from my Latin tutor, with a wonderful inscription that always gets me teary eyed, Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall - my favorite book, Henry James' The Princess Casamassima - a book i read at least ones a year, and The Beckett Trilogy - another big one for me.

All in everyman editions as the paper is quality and the the guy had experience working with them already.

use some wood shingles to prop the bookcase slight backwards toward the wall so it doesn't fall oven when you stack books on the shelves
