Why did I not realise until now that these things do not necessarily go well together?
I'm having very little success in convincing the parent that we can put shelves in other places without causing critical space failure. Of course, since I'm not entirely convinced, my argument has some flaws. I may have to resort to flatstacking in double rows, and labelling shelves so's I can remember what's where when I can't see the titles.
No one will part me from my books. Not without great and terrible struggle.
On the other hand, no one will part me from my pretty glossy print (from a nice museum shop) of The Great Wave off Kanagawa either. But finding somewhere to put it?
Oh, well. I'll figure something out.

I just hung up a poster from New Orleans, one of my little collection of three -- a poster for each year I lived in Louisiana. It's the one that my cat Babe tried to eat, so the lower corner is clearly ripped, but it's now all under a professional frame to protect it from her spirit. The Babe was cute, but she shredded my posters until I framed them.
