“Book” Shelves, or Jim Rosenau’s Books as Furniture at Thisintothat.com
A particularly self-referential shelf at Jin Rosenau’s booth at the Palo Alto Art and Wine Festival, where he was showing of his bookshelves, made both for and out of books.
Inspired by reading Nicholson Baker’s article “Books as Furniture” in the New Yorker (June 12, 1995, p. 84 — also printed in his The Size of Thoughts (Vintage, 1997.). When actual books proved not to be sturdy enough, he switched to hollowing them out, and making durable interiors of wood covered by a bookish veneer. He selects the books for their appearance, theme, and to make clever comparisons, and will custom make shelves to fit particular interests. A lovely play on the idea of a ‘book shelf’ and the term ‘furniture books,’ punctuated by this clever juxtaposition at his site.
A variety of his projects, showing smaller shelves as well as a key rack.

Reeves Triplets*, The University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, July 2008
The Reeves brothers*, dressed in their obnoxious matching aloha fashion, on the observation deck of the tower of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin.
*In case it is for some reason not obvious, there are no Reeves triplets–I am just having some fun with Photoshop.
Graves, Fez, Morocco, November 2007
Gravestone Decoration, Fez, Morocco, November 2007
The graveyards on the whole seemed to be devoid of planing and decoration, but these men were planting at a small graveyard, which I assume is a family plot, as it was separated from the necropolis by a series of crumbling buildings which I climbed over to get this shot.
This is a close-up of the area that appears in the base of this shot.
Fez, Morocco, November 2007
I am standing on one of the upper stories of a ruined building built against the cliff side of a ruined necropolis, looking over the old city. For a closer view of the little grave plot, check out this shot.
