      Did you know you can buy books with blank pages? You can even choose the severity of the discoloration and degree of mottling of the pages. Utter psychopaths.

        Those are some of the best books. They can take a while to fill up, though.

          Not journals, staging books.

          I know someone who has beautiful 2 story bookshelves with a rolling ladder. The only real books I saw on their massive bookshelves? The hunger games and Harry Potter. So sad.

            Which is honestly hilarious and sad, because you can basically just spend a weekend going to estate sales and get a phenomenal amount of gorgeous old books for less than what they probably paid for those fake ones. I’ve picked up so many cool turn of the century science/engineering books that are sometimes hilariously outdated, but they cost like a dollar or two at most, the majority being like 10/$1, and at the very least look really nice on the shelves if that’s all you care about.
