Truly Grand Home Libraries
I have categorized any home library that is jaw-droppingly large in size or holdings or exceptionally ornate as a "truly grand home library." This is the type of library that usually graces the mansions built by captains of industry and other very wealthy people. However, serious book collectors of more modest wealth occasionally make such a library their highest priority, and even though architecturally, their libraries are not as impressive as those in great mansions, the number of books in them often qualifies them for inclusion as Grand, in my opinion. These libraries often contain ten thousand books or more.
These are photos for dreaming, for admiration, for envy. And for ogling, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"-like. Enjoy!
