If you thought you had a big book collection (and I thought I did with some 1800 volumes..) then you are probably in for a soul crushing experience… In yet another example of a beautiful and highly enviable library, Shelfari have had the extraordinary honour of getting to peer through Neil Gaiman’s library, but also take a series of photos of it. Many of you would know of Neil Gaiman’s work. He is the man who has given us the comic series ‘The Sandman’, the books ‘American Gods’, ‘Stardust’, ‘Coraline’ and my personal favourite ‘The Graveyard Book’, and he also wrote the screenplay for ‘Beowulf’.
The full set of photographs by Ron Brinkmann Kyle Cassidy can be found here. The nature of the photography gives a real feeling of being present in the room, and while being of a large and very high quality, they may take a while to download, they are ultimately worth the wait.
Neil Gaiman was kind enough to twitter a link to his reference collection. It can be found here.

Just to be clear, I didn’t take the photos myself – we convinced the extremely talented photographer Kyle Cassidy (www.kylecassidy.com) to do that job. And a fine job it was! About all I can take credit for is begging Neil to let us do it and then posting the results
