Lindsey Harper and her Library

Have you checked out the iPad app called Book Crawler? It allows you to electronically catalogue your library of books, but the really neat thing is that you can add the books automatically by scanning the book's barcode using your iPad camera. No typing needed! I have spent days walking around my apartment scanning my books. During this endeavor, I realized that I have a lot of books and still want many more to add my growing library. In fact, I just added a few titles to my wish list thanks to the July issue of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. There is a great article on the New York apartment of designer Lindsey Harper (she hails from Cartersville, Georgia). Clearly an advocate of the more is more theory, Lindsey has cleverly carved out space for entertaining, living and sleeping within the confines of a studio apartment. And, she managed to find space for her book collection, never an easy feat in a small space. I whipped out the old magnifying glass to see what books Lindsey had and found some new titles that I think I need for my library. (See what I plan to buy below.)
