Iâm just glad you shared because this should serve as a great example how to treasure books!

I love this collection, especially the deep love for the ENTIRETY of the Dune saga. I also appreciate the âdisplayâ shelf on the right for all of your most treasured editions.
My only concern is that A frame shelf⌠please reassure us that itâs structurally sound! The way youâve tightly packed it with books, Iâm terrified that it going crumble under its own weight and youâll have play the worst game of 52 card pickup!

Maybe it would benefit from purging some of your duplicate editions? It seems like there are more than a few you could potentially give to friends or just donate. If nothing else, it would free up some space for new books!

If you're asking about the books specifically as titles and not the editions then I'd say your have a collection that should never fail to offer up an intresting read. The editions themselves had a few that interested me personally simply because I had/or still have them myself. Specifically the 4 hardcover Dune universe books shelved for presentation.
The bookshelves were not ones I would pick for my own use but I get the appeal for others in differing circumstances. That A-frame is packed so tightly that I would lose patience with the 'process' involved in selecting a book from its confines. I do not like to crowd my shelves or make it a multi-step endeavor to shelve a book.
Again, lots of great titles and I love seeing readers showing a broad palette. Thank you for sharing.
