When you think of great architecture, you probably think of cathedrals, glistening spires of the latest Donald Trump tower or a museum...maybe even an ancient castle.
Below are 20 of the world's most beautiful libraries. I hope you enjoy the tour. I find the architecture to be in many cases, profound.
Each blog entry has 5 photos, so be sure to click the actual blog entry on the right-hand side if scrolling doesn't show you all 20 photos. Click on each photo for an enlarged version.
The first library featured belongs to Jay Walker, the founder of Priceline.com and Walker Digital. Jay and his wife Eileen have two children, Evan and Lindsey, and have made their home in Ridgefield, Connecticut since 1990. Walker's personal library occupies 3,600 square feet and features books, artifacts and models of space exploration, cryptography and James Bond films.
I hope you enjoy the tour!
