I agree great for book collector. That door is fabulous though! (Without the books)

@lolakimono Horrible and destroys the lovely look of the French doors. Someone must have been drunk when they thought of this!

I like this!  I would love for the arch to continue on down to the floor on both sides.

My worst nightmare (if I lived here) is if someone would want me to loan them one of these books.  I have already broken three bones in my life!

Agree... Says 'contrived' to me... Great door, though the books distract from it...

Love the doors.

It is a cute idea for a Library or Kids room over an arched window.

You would have to secure the books to the wall.....if not someone could get clobbered in the head (like in Home Alone).

Very imaginative! It would have to be books I don't read often or maybe collector/ sentimental books/albums because of the need for a ladder to access. But I like it a lot!
