Five Shelves

Image by splorp
A good chunk of my web development, programming, server admin and typography reference library, documented for the geekLib{} group. Naturally, I have a truckload of books squirreled away in the basement, under the stairs, and in storage ... but you have to start somewhere.

The odd distortion and inconsistent perspective in this image is due to the fact that it was composited from five separate wide angle photos.
