Sylvie's Shelf


Hi everybody !
Today's shelf is very special and I'm very proud to show it to you. It's Sylvie's Shelf, and it's organized BY ALPHABETICAL ORDER ! Can you believe that ? I have seen it in real life, and I can tell you, it's really spectacular. Everybody would like to organize their books like that, but let's face it, nobody summons up the courage to do it. Sylvie did !

Alison's Shelf


Hi everybody ! Today's shelf comes from California, USA, thanks to Alison. Alison is a graduate student in ecology (is that cool or what ?). Besides research, she enjoys making music, paintings and tostadas (I had to check this word, and DAMN it sounds good).
In her own words, "[she] used to consciously try to make [her] bookshelf a snapshot of [herself] and what [she] thinks about", which is also my idea of a great bookcase. I mean, we all got shameful books hidden on the back of our shelves, but let's be honest, we display the really good ones right in front. Right ?
This bookshelf is from Ikea, simple and sturdy, and I personnaly really like it because I used to have the same... tee-hee !

Maria's Shelf


Today's shelf is Maria's ! Ok, this is not really a shelf, more like a big pile of graphic design books. But that's because Maria's got wayyyy too much books, so she chose to show us this nice selection (VERY nice. Man, I wish I had some of those books). Maria's still at school, but she has already worked in various design fields, and for companies like Panasonic, Arte France, Fly and Oxford. (woo !). She's going to Argentina in a few days, but you can still keep in touch on her blog Kiedis.fr
