Study Bookshelves
These are the very messy bookshelves in our study. The home for most of our technical books.
We have some other bookshelves with novels, childrens books, reference stuff on them, and many boxes containing books that have no bookshelves yet.

He he - well those books out you as a fellow programmer, right ?
Didn't know there was such a thing as an Australian dictionary :-D.
Like the collection of small plastic animals too !
Theoretically, the right hand side are "my books" while the left belong to my wife. In practice they're a bit mixed up.
I'm officially not a programmer, but I was trained as one ;) I guess the System Administrator comes fairly close to what I do, but mostly just on firewalls. Still have call for my programming skills every now and then, esp. when it comes to scripting. I've been doing a bit of Ruby most recently.
Oh and the small plastic animals came in a particular brand of children's chocolate. There's an "egg" inside and you have to build them up from parts. (Like a Kinder Suprise, but with cool animals and dinosaurs instead of pointless toys). Our youngest tends to play with them, which is why they're at the right height for a 4 yo ;)
LOL - so you occupy a position of great occult power in your company and everyone who knows what's good for themselves are always very, very polite and nice to you, right ;-)
I wish! We don't get to manage our own firewalls, just customer ones.
I think most peoples bookshelves have a tendency to get dumped on !my books are mainly (boring- for you ) gardening, shrubs, trees, wild flowers. Then theres lots on Dorset, photo books mainly,the odd DIY,watercolour books, goodness knows what else ! We are past the toy stage though !!
Oh I wouldn't say that Helen. I like books on trees and shrubs (I used to know many varieties of palm tree by botanical name and sight), but that doesn't mean I actually want to go outside, dig a hole and plant them ;)
(the trees, not the books)
I know about those chocolate eggs with toys inside. I love those! I'm a clean freak so my bookshelves are well organized. (^.^) Please don't hate me.
I approve of clean Margot, just not very good at it ;)
I love the curve, gives it a gaudian feel. It only it were real.
Great bookshelves David, I love the haphazard feel to them!
Thanks for sharing in our bookshelf thread

Brian, yes a curved bookshelf would be pretty neat :) I could have stepped further back and got the whole thing in a single, non-curved frame, but I was lazy and wanted to see how AutoStitch would handle the wide angle shots.
Thanks Jill - our other bookshelves a bit more orderly :)
The lack of Canon boxes on these shelves is disturbing.
J.
The Canon boxes are in the bedroom (where else would you keep them?) ;-)
Ahh, but we filled the bokshelves before Dave started on his flickr-bug craze :)
The wife must really get annoyed at having to shift those Canon boxes of the way before climbing into bed for the night.
J.
Oh I'm sure she's well versed in these things, after all the house is littered with old computer gear too... ;)
He's under instructions to shift the pile that is growing across the verandah door
(His first love, computer hardware takes up far more space than his new love camera gear, but 'new' computer gear is free whereas new camera gear is incredibly expensive. Decisions, decisions... ;))
