Pleased. It's clean, the main shelves are shelved. There's stuff yet to be sorted and shelved - particularly, on the case I'll get for the closet tomorrow - but it looks very, very good. I tucked that stuff into the closet (it will have to come out again when the shelves are going in, of course) and got these pictures, which show the main shelves and the shelves under the window, as well as the rather less-slick (but useful, darnit!) CD/tape stuff to the left of the window. Under the window are graphic novels, time life books, and nonfiction that either seemed vaguely coffee-table-ish or wouldn't fit on the other shelves. This is where the art/photography/etc. books are, too. There's a bit of art leaning against the wall there; we're going to put it up there, to balance the stuff to the left without blocking access to the books.

Main shelves are four across; the top shelf on the right-hand three is hardcover non-fiction. Top shelf left-hand, and second shelf on the rest, is hardcover fiction (the last shelf is almost bare, however, we have a number of hardcovers in our 'read and decide if we want it' list, so...). The lower shelves, paperback-sized, hold novels in cases 1-3; the fourth case is novels from multi-author series, anthologies, and paperback non-fiction.

There's more non-fiction in the closet and, over time, I would anticipate some of what's out would also migrate that way as the shelves fill.

And, the actual mentioned pictures. I wasn't able to get a good shot of it all at once, so this is (in order) the upper left corner, upper right, lower left, and lower right - and then a shot of under the window.

Oh, wow, nice library! I've been trying to organize my books at my new apartment here, too, and some of them got shelved, but I also had to fill about four large bins with books, too, because there is just no room for them right now. And that's after giving away boxes of books to Goodwill before we moved!

I have a Figment, too :). In fact, he's on the chair just across the room from me. I bought him when John and I were honeymooning at Disneyworld twelve years ago. Figment surfaced in the move, too, along with my favorite ragdoll.
