That is a cool sign!

[poliphilo]

We're well pleased with it.

It's perfect!
Good picture of you as well!

Thanks.

Giving your books a loving home feels so rewarding!

And now I know where everything is. Ailz wanted a couple of books last night and I was able to go straight to them.

There is so much excitement (to me) in organizing shelves according to the conversations my particular collection of books are having.

I found a recent documentary about the Ritman Library in Amsterdam that you might like.

It's a large library of the history and various philosophies of hermetica and esoterica.

How beautiful your books look, all tidily arranged on their shelves! How lovely it must be to have a book room and to be able, as you said, to go to the desired book directly and easily!

Wonderful picture, and I'm very much liking the headgear! :^)

[poliphilo]

I have a collection of such hats- or topis as they're in their countries of origin

[mairi_dubh]

If I'm not out of line in asking: do you wear them for warmth; to protect the head (usually in the summer) from the sun; or as a spiritual/religious mark of respect for the Divine/Supreme Being?

[poliphilo]

We used to live in a Muslim area and the men all wore topis and I thought they were stylish.

That's the main reason I wear mine, but they do also keep my head warm

Nice! Do you have a smoking jacket to go with that cap? And a pipe? (You don’t have to actually, you know, put tobacco in it and light it…)

[poliphilo]

No jacket, no pipe, just a collection of hats....
