At Home with Books is about booklovers-forty of them-and the very personal, diverse libraries created for the passion they share. And they show that reading rooms and creative ideas for housing volumes can turn any room in the into a library. Here we see the literary lairs of Frances FitzGerald, Jean Stein, and John Richardson; the beautifully designed libraries of Robert A. M. Stern, Michael Graves, and Jack Lenor Larsen; the warmth and originality of book rooms arranged by Keith Richards, Richard Howard, and Charles Ryskamp, to name just a few. Includes an Index.
