Hard-copy books may in reality be just as ephemeral as the endless streams of bits and bytes that flow around us these days but, to me, there is always something that just projects a sense of a well-ordered mind and an all-is-well-with-the-universe feel when I see finely-bound versions of such books arranged on shelves with a purpose as they are in the pictures shown here. This is a real throwback, but a nice one. The article itself is fluff but for me, as a long time book buff, this part was intriguing. Not fine-library stuff, just a nice way to convey a feel of real interest for a lobby entrance that would normally be utterly prosaic. It just has a stamp of individuality about it, and I like that.
