Jane Mount paints pictures of people's favorite books, their ideal bookshelf. She even does custom orders (unless all you really want is the Harry Potter books, in which case she's got you covered already!). I love the gorgeous bindings on all the Jane Austen books- I just read an article that said books are becoming works of art in order to entice people to buy them as opposed to a kindle or nook copy (can't remember where, sorry). I think that's something that should have been happening anyway!
There is nothing better than holding an actual book verses holding a computer. Feeling the differences between each soul, letting the books decorate your shelves or clutter up the dresser & shoving them into your purse for the offhand moment you might get to revisit them during your day...it's lovely.
