Wow, that looks oddly appealing. I think it's the combination of used-book-store coziness and lovely views.

It's wonderful. Very hard to photograph without a wide-angle lens, the real feel of the whole place.

The best part is being presented with real history--to say nothing of $$ value--at absolutely every turn, all day every day. I'm surrounded, not just by books (although I am) but also by prints, maps, photographs, newspaper clippings, musical scores, letters...

Also, the archivist has a Scottish accent and was wearing black-red nailpolish.

I am starting to suspect that you are just making this job up. When you start talking about the free day spa that you're encouraged to use at least weekly, complete with wine and chocolate offerings, I'll know.
