OT: Check out what I got from the Borders going-out-of-business sale!

[MisterX]

But...but...you can only put your History and Literatrure books there!

 

Where are the rest going to go?

[BigLeagueCHEW]

Sweet

[All Be D'Oh!]

I was wishing I could do this when I walked around the "Everything Must Go!" store near me, but alas our ceilings are way too low. I'm stoked to see that someone was able to pull it off!

 

Now you can sit in front of it in your velvet smoking jacket while you smoke your pipe, drink your brandy and read a stack of vintage Spider-Mans

It was a lot of work. I had a guy from work help me and we had to take them all apart and take them down ourselves. I hired a another guy to help me put them up today. I'm stoked! I've always dreamed about having a bookcase with a ladder.

 

I will have one, one day.

 

[Mac Man]

Glad you were able to nail down such a cool deal.

 

I'm still pretty sad about Borders closing. I bought SO many books there and tried books out I might not have otherwise bought thanks to their nice deals. Plus, my wife and I loved going to our local Borders to grab some coffee and just browse through the books.

 

 

[jools&jim]

 

That rules!

 

[bababooey]

Awesome.

 

How are you going to put your books on it so that you can get up and down the ladder with them? Short comic boxes, magazine boxes?

[comix4fun]

This is as jealous as I have been of anyone in a long long time.

 

Now you can reenact that great scene from The Last Crusade with Indy in the Library.

[ashsaytr]

freakin sweet!

[Joanna]

That is so cool! Sounds like we all have the same fantasy around here. There's nothing quite like ample bookcases with a ladder. Wow!

So freaking sweeeeeeeeet! I dream of such a thing.

[HaydenTO]

It does not get much cooler than that!

You'll have to throw up some pics when you get them loaded up.

[Bfairb]

uhhhhh....awesome!

[The Amazing Chump]

Now you just need a red leather chair.

[GL1]

Very Sweet. Definitely post some more pics when you stock the shelves.

+1

[Theagenes]

I'll be sure to post some after pics once it's filled.

 

You know that scene of Lex Luther's libary may very well have influenced as a kid.

So my local Borders survived the first round of closings last spring, but it final gave up the ghost this past month. I went a few weeks ago to see if they had a spinner rack, but instead I came away with this....
