You might think that its name says it all. A bookshelf is just that - a shelf for books. It's the stuff of libraries, offices, and the bane of movers' existence. But every shelf is different and every bookshelf tells a different story. One bookshelf can creak with character in a bohemian coffee shop and another can groan with gravitas in the Library of Congress. Bookshelf takes an almost meta-approach to the object studies aim of Object Lessons: exploring the stacks as well as our bedside tables, writer and historian Lydia Pyne unpacks not just the material parts but the secret lives of bookshelves. Pyne finds bookshelves to be holders not just of books but of so many other things: values, vibes, and verbs that can be contained and displayed in the buildings and rooms of contemporary human existence. With a shrewd eye toward this particular moment in the history of books, Pyne takes the reader on a tour of the bookshelf that leads critically to this juncture: amid rumors of the death of book culture, why is the life of bookshelf in full bloom?Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Shows that, whether in the library, office, or home, the bookshelf is where and how we create categories to sort knowledge and experience and that every bookshelf tells a different story"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aObject lessons. 606 $aShelving for books 606 $aLibraries 606 $aBooks 606 $aShelving (Furniture) 606 $aLiterary theory$2bicssc 615 0$aShelving for books. 615 0$aLibraries. 615 0$aBooks. 615 0$aShelving (Furniture) 615 7$aLiterary theory 676 $a022/.4 686 $aLIT006000$aPHI001000$aSOC000000$2bisacsh 700 $aPyne$b Lydia$01252628 712 02$aNational Center for Biotechnology Information (U.S.) 712 02$aNational Library of Medicine (U.S.) 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910698369103321 996 $aBookshelf$93143812 997 $aUNINA
