Bookshelf Staircase

Alex

Tom Sloan at Levitate Architects came up with a neat solution to a storage problem in this London Victorian apartment:

We created a 'secret' staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. Limited by space, we melded the idea of a staircase with our client's desire for a library to form a 'library staircase' in which English oak stair treads and shelves are both completely lined with books.

Argh! I would LOVE to have a staircase like this. Currently all my books are either in a cardboard box or in a tiny shelf that I shares its space with the DVDs I have.

Can you buy it in Chicago? I would love to get a few bottles but live nowhere near the bars that are hosting. And/or can you have a princes bride get together in Chicago?

I never got this weird habbit of learning dialogue by rote and quoting. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about the Princess Bride, Withnail and I or Monty Python sketches the whole idea just leaves me cold. It would seem to me to detract from the enjoyment of the movie/book/tv show/whatever.

Can somebody explain where the enjoyment is? Or is it some kind of OCD thing?
