Guns, gunsmithing, cartridges and firearms reference...........

The "mines, danger" sign on the wall reminds me of a Charles Addams cartoon of a teenager's bedroom with the wall

covered with warning signs like "Danger Bridge Out" and "Avalanche Warning" and a hundred similar.

 

Great Library

Thanks for showing

City Desk 175

 

 

BTW

The next round should ask for things like: "What Piece of Paper, magazine, patch, or other ephemera tells the most story?"

 

For me that includes patches I designed, and the challenge coin I designed negotiated and convinced a committee to pay for.

this is my full wall bookcase, I built the first one out of nice oak plywood.

 

She wanted NICER so I gave up half the wall and she paid for the Nicer one to be built

General Apathy
What is behind Curtain #1??

 

 

It's a loft room so it will be a window, either a curved top one or completly circular ???

 

Elementary my Dear Watson. :think:

 

Cheers ( Lewis )

 

The owner is possibly in his twenties, right handed, poor taste in curtain material,

watches things through the window with his binoculars, reads a little, watches films a lot, interested in

Viet-nam. ??? :lol::lol::lol:

Here is one of my book shelves dedicated to the Italian Campaign. I have another bookshelf with a variety of books and two larger built-in shelves with mostly miliataria. This is not all of the ones on Italy, such as the large format books, i.e. 3rd ID.

What is in the small plastic/plexi case on the top of the bookcase? Looks like a nice way to display small items and keep them dust free.

I've been a bibliophile for many years, now, and have many more books than spaces to put them. My War Between the States library would fill up every shelf I've got, but since I've moved away from that war, my cases are filled primarily with books about 20th century conflicts.

Here's a shot of my favorite bookcase...

I had forgotten that I had this. It's an original copy of General Daniel Harvey Hill's magazine "The Land We Love." Extremely rare, as I have never seen another, and I have visited bookstores across the country. I've also been in the book business for ten years, which is part of the reason I can afford so many books.

Ok, here's a shot of one of my shelves containing some books on militaria. I've got some nice books on wings, including Silver Wings, Pinks and Greens, Don Chalif's book, Russ Hoff's book, and Duncan Campbell's book. All quite nice!
