Excerpt:
For old-school book lovers, the home library is as much a statement of who
they are as people as a place to store books. And some of these
bibliophiles have seriously inventive, stunning libraries.

In Connecticut, Jay Walker's three-story Library of the History of Human
Imagination features enormously valuable items, including one of the seven
surviving Sputnik satellites and a Gutenberg Bible. It also has
one-of-a-kind architectural details, like stairs modeled after the artwork
of M.C. Escher.

In London and Thessaloniki, Greece, architects turned bookcases -- usually
imagined as built-in or freestanding pieces of furniture -- into
multi-purpose home features (specifically a staircase and a sunken book
walkway) that provide storage, but also extra space for living.
