The Regarp Home Library

“The greatest university of all is a collection of books.” — Thomas Carlyle

This is the complete Regarp personal library of some 2650+ books, circa September 2019, along with my “Booktable” as well as custom bookmarks & other book-related decor. The actual library and book collection is, of course, a work in progress of acquisition and arrangement!

 

These pics are more detailed in part, but older circa February 2018:

 

 

Booktable Blook

My wife bought me this wonderful chest of drawers that looks like a stack of books some time ago.  I recently learned that such objects that resemble books but aren’t have come to be called “blooks.” There are four drawers, which I use for miscellaneous maps and pamphlets. It sits next to my favorite reading chair near the fireplace, and I usually stack the several books I’m reading on top of it.  I call it my “booktable” (pronounced with some whimsy as “book-duh-bul”). Perfect for the book nerd I am!

My sister-in-law created these great bookmarks for me as a graduation gift to celebrate my Masters in History degree. They contain covers of books I have reviewed here and excerpts from the reviews. Aren’t they cool?
