I have loved books all my life- reading them and re-reading them, the smell of old books, losing yourself in another place and time... I love them also on a visual/decor basis- on bookshelves with all the pretty spines lined up in a row, the covers (yes I am guilty of buying books based purely on their cover) and as decor items.
I especially love collections of vintage books in various displays...lovely

Hey Brooke...I am exactly the same!!! I have even gone so far as to tell my husband that i am no longer a 'book lover', I'm a book 'collector', as a way of justifying my incessant need to buy books! Like you I will buy a book purely based on it's cover or binding! You should check out a great book called Decorating with Books from House Beautiful (here's the link so you can see a cover image and blurb - http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/search_results.jsp;jsessionid=69249CA17AE924E173C4E31E8524FEBA.bobcatp2?quicksearch=1&wcp=1&searchData=9781588164933&searchType=keywords&cntType=...if you want one let me know, they are $40 aust but I get half price!) it has great ideas for displaying books and making them more than a bunch of things sitting a bookcase! I also love the smell of books, particualarly brand new hot off the press and also vintage books. Ahhh bliss!
Thanks for commenting on my blog too by the way, I too find it hard to pick between Morelli and Ranger, it depends on the kind of mood I'm in when reading!
loving this post!
