A Personalized Bookshelf

I've begun to notice that my apartment is suspiciously devoid of personal effects. I've got the trinkets and things that mean a lot but when it comes to touches like photos and the like, they're carefully tucked away into photo albums and haven't seen the light of day since my post-collegiate years. Looking at this editor's carefully crafted bookshelf and I realize that there's something quite nice about personalizing the space a bit. It lends it a human touch that you otherwise wouldn't have and gives your tomes a personality that are completely unique--and stand out in photos just like these.
