Knihy sú našim životným štýlom. Nie sú doplnkom, ale zmyslom pre človeka mysliaceho a tvorivého. V bohato ilustrovanej knihe Living With Books sú Dominique Dupuich a Roland Beaufre na návšteve v súkromných knižniciach významných zberateľov, dizajnérov, spisovateľov, novinárov, umelcov a všímajú si v detailoch, aký vzťah majú títo ľudia ku knihe.

Na 192 stranách pohodlného formátu 25 x 25 centimetrov je 222 farebných ilustrácii doprevádzaných textom.

A home filled with books can be a place of inspiration. Far from being simple storage spaces, bookcases, shelves and even entire libraries reveal the personalities and lifestyles of their owners.

Living with Books takes us on a guided tour of the libraries of some passionate readers, discovering how they fit their love of books into their homes and lives. Artists, interior decorators, graphic designers, fashion designers, writers, collectors, journalists and business people: all have different ways of engaging with books as a design challenge, striking a balance between style and practicality, modern trends and classic styling, strict organization and carefree clutter.

The lavish illustrations show how the right combination of shelving, lighting and accessories can be brought together with a dash of imagination to create a truly unique interior.
Here is a world of inventive ways to showcase books at their best, as objects of beauty and fascination for all.
