I've completely lost my mind.  I'm looking for it in my cocktail glass now that I'm done making books for the day. 

What a tedious pain in the butt book making is...makes me question why I work in half scale.

It turned out like I wanted though, so it was worth the suffering...or it will be tomorrow anyway, right now my back is killing me from bending over my work table all day.

For a little added interest and variation I finished some of them with a matte sealer, some in satin and the rest in gloss.  I'm not sure I like the gloss ones, but I'm not discarding them after all that work.  I painted the tops of the balsa pages in either tan, white or gold.

The shelves aren't glued into the bookcase yet, which is why they look crooked.  I needed to finish the books first so I knew how far apart to space the shelves.  I'll either space the shelves a little further apart or put a kick plate at the bottom to eat up the extra space there.  I'll decide later, when my brain recuperates.

This isn't my final arrangment, I'm going to make a couple coffee table sized books to lay flat on a shelf and put a geegaw on top of them.  And, because the bottom two shelves won't be seen since the bookcase will sit behind the loveseat, I'm going to put something else there so I can move some of the books to the bookcase in the boy's bedroom.
