They get other people to build their "personal" book collections. The very thought sends a shock of pain through my bibliophile's heart. The things I could do with all those "beautiful bookshelves" that will now be filled willy-nilly for mere decoration! And I could certainly do it all by myself! *sigh* Ah, to have but money enough, and time...

I actually know an interior decorator who buys libraries of books for some of his clients. I've heard that they can be purchased "by the foot" to fill shelves. Extraordinary.
Abominable is what it is!
