Subject: The library of my dreams... seriousily, if I had millions of dollars...

Just plain gorgeous.  Probably bigger than my entire house even with the new addition.  I've had to sell/give away so many books over the years I'd have preferred to keep, yet they probably all pale in comparison with what this guy has. 

I'd even settle for a simple two story 20x40 room with sliding ladders, doesn't need to be as elaborate as this!

just spotted the square footage in the article... 3600 sq ft.  About 3 times larger than my house.

I don't usually get jealous of rich people's stuff, but for this I can make an exception.

That is really awesome. He's got some really unique things too, like the instruction manual for the Saturn 5 and one of the Enigma code machines.

I wonder if he's planning on becoming a part of the library once he passes: he can't take it with him, but he can become part of it.

Patty is gonna love that link.

Those sky walkways almost make it reminiscent of the library in 'The Breakfast Club'.  Man, if I had a library like that, I'd fill it with an endless selection of DVDs/CDs

Wow that's freakin' beautiful!  Brings tears to my eyes.

I love love love love love libraries and always wanted enough room to have one of my own.  That is my problem now with moving, I have to get rid of a good chunk of my "collection"  :\'(  and I don't know what to get rid of and what to keep

Maybe one day when I win the lottery (that I don't play), I'll build a nice library like this one.  Astounding!

and 6x the size of my apt.  ;D


There's a guy here in Santa Barbara who has a pop culture museum attached to his house. He has original props from star wars, the I love Lucy Vitameatavegimin dress and tons of really cool stuff. My friend has been a few times and is supposed to get me in too. I'll let you know when (& if ) that happens so I can accurately portray the size and contents!

That would be my idea of heaven, wow. I liked the windows and the light, I mean outside the obvious, I love libraries, but have only been in the public libraries which are somewhat limited.
