Book Staircase

This incredible book staircase caught my eye awhile ago, but I just had to share it with you. It's the realization of my library daydream. I'm surrounded by wonderful books that go to the ceiling, and I can climb up the bookcases, actually entering the space of the books, and at the top and deepest penetration into the bookcase, I emerge into a sunlit nest perfect for enjoying whatever books I picked up along the way.
Books are objects that beg to be entered. Their covers and titles lure you inside and tempt you to lose yourself for hours inside the world they offer. This book staircase acts as the physical embodiment of the mental act of entering the world of the books. Most good libraries have a labyrinthine nature in both their physical and conceptual structure, adding to the tendency to lose oneself in them.
The photos of these bookstairs are especially intriguing in that they never show the back of the bookshelves. It visually suggests the possibility that if one climbed the staircase halfway and pulled out a book or two, one might discover another hidden portal to crawl through into even deeper and more hidden realms of the book world.
