4. Group the books together and take a photograph, or buy this print.

Or trying turning them inside out for an interesting statement (although I'm not sure how you would find the title you need.)

Speaking of parties, have a look at my top ten recipes for an inauguration party, inspired by Obama's favourite foods. I am having a party this Sunday afternoon, if you have any fun ideas let me know. So far I have Obama's favourite music, and a NY Times quiz on First Lady fashion.

My favourite is the cut-out one, looks so great! Although I'm not sure I'd want to cut up my books.
Good luck with the Inaugration party, hope you get a good crowd! I thought of something (that I'm doing at my party too), present guests with lais as they enter, splendidly kitsch and tacky!
I'm also using those red american "party cups" to serve with my Hawaiian punch! Thanks for the Hawaii idea also and for posting top 10 recipes.
Wow. I love your ideas. And the pictures are all fantastic and inspiring.
Whoa- that's a lot of food for thought! I'm laughing at the idea of turning them inside out. Cute but NOT practical, like so many pretty things (I'm looking at you, high heels.)
That shelf is a cute idea and so is the clock. I am saving this for Jacob he loves to "tinker" with projects such as this. That apple sculpture sure is cute, I wonder how hard it would be to recreate.....
I save mine for by the bed. I love my old books, as few as they may be.
What a ton of great ideas! Love those bangles in the first pic.
I love books, so I flipped over this post! Very cool photos and ideas. I'm amazed by how creative some people can be.
Thanks for joining my blog party and showing us these. Fabulous!!
I love the clock and the shelf! Great ideas...thanks for sharing them!
I adore books...and this post is totally magical! Thank you. I'm so glad I found your blog.
Great ideas!
Wow - I also love books, so I'm always looking for new/pretty ways to display them. These are all great ideas. Thanks for sharing them. :)
Wow.....I am completely inspired and in awe of these ideas and creativity! Great post!
Loved this post! : )
