Reading room

We have a real book problem at home - hundreds of them cluttering up the house. I like books but have a problem throwing any away although I have found that the University of Surrey is happy to accept donations of discarded review copies of management books.

Wall space can be scarce when there are radiators in the way so I thought this idea looked like a great way of creating book shelving from something that also provides another function, i.e. stairs.

We don't have the right kind of house for this arrangement but it would be a great way to organise a two-storey apartment.
