5,000 books? Wow!

I love books, but I sure don't have (nor have I read) that many! Like this shot with the fisheye -- works well here.

Nice shot. Like the use of the fisheye. Also, I appreciate your reference to books. As a retired librarian I love you interest.

Impressive fisheye image. Not sure if I'd have room for 5,000 books what with my many magazines and boxes of Kodachrome!
