Bibliovoyeurism

Some bloggers have given us tantalizing glimpses of their books:

• Conrad H. Roth (Varieties of Unreligious Experience): Bibliophily
  
• The Little Professor: Shelved
  
• Dennis Mangan (Mangan's Miscellany): More book-mongering
• William F. Vallicella (The Maverick Philosopher): The Battle of the Libraries

The Maverick Philosopher also wondered what my collection of books looks like. I have no snapshots of my books, so instead I reproduce here some photographs of the library of a friend (I hope I may call him friend) and fellow bibliomaniac.



This collection is so extensive that its owner must sometimes resort to binoculars to locate individual volumes. His young daughter wonders if he'll go mad from too much reading, like Don Quixote.
