“The proper study of mankind is books” (Aldous Huxley)

And many a study is graced by find books and fine bindings.

Law Reports with their aura of learning and sequential volumes can add a great deal of gravitas to any location – be it in the study,  hallway or sun filled loggia.

Although in a domestic setting law reports may not be read and used as they would be as the tools of the trade of a lawyer they are at least being preserved and maybe will inspire a later generation.

Designers are recommended to “At Home with Books” by Ellis,  Seebohm & Sykes published by Thames and Hudson (ISBN 0-500-01684-4) which has a myriad of examples of the way books can engage with a space from both sides of the Atlantic.
