I love joinery as an architectural and decorative feature of a room.
Books are a passion.
Your last picture in particular on your shelf portrait post makes me want to go out and buy more books just to be able to make such a striking feature!
The dark background sets it off amazingly.
I also like to put framed pictures on shelves as a decorative feature, to break up books and other elements.
Particularly works well when a whole room is bookcased and there is no room for images on the walls...

Thanks for sharing such amazing images.
i'm totally going to start combing the used bookstores merely for color now, i just know it.
your photo: I would spend hours here...looks like a place that was here in Downtown Long Beach for years called Acres of Books. It was truly spectacular, a whole city block of little scraggily book shelves stacked to the brim. Stacks everywhere, dusty, dark and filled with paper stories.
Sadly, they went out of business just a year or so ago. That little gem is gone now.
