Ron Scheer's Bookshelves

You’re looking at one wall of the room I use for an office. The books across the bottom shelf on the left (plus three on top and three on the floor) are references for blogging and the book project I’m working on. The book itself in its present form is in the stacks of paper on the floor.

The rest of the books are mostly western fiction and some history. The stack between the cases is the to-read-next pile, and it hardly ever seems to sink below where it is now. About a third of that bunch are original editions of 100-year-old novels. There are more on the middle shelf of the bookcase on the right.

The framed photo on the far right is my attractive wife and copyeditor. The bears and koala are part of a collection that has followed me over the years. Charles Gramlich will recognize the framed cover of his KILLING TRAIL peeking out atop the left bookcase.

Thanks for sharing Ron's compact and well-organised bookshelves. I spotted two books called SLANG that should be interesting, and WILD, though I can't make out the author's name. I don't see many globes these days. I'd one when I was in school.

Thanks, Chris. Quite spontaneous a series. And I have Heath Lowrance next.

Prashant C. Trikannad, My mom had a globe from I believe the sixties. So many border and name changes in those forty plus years.

Excellent. Definitely a bit of an 'academic" look to the piles. I know the style well. :)

I bet you would, Charles. That aspect escaped me.

Always interesting, isn't it?
