The great libraries, photographed like cathedrals

The great halls photographed like cathedrals: ladders and galleries, dust in shafts of light, the smell of old paper implied.

The brief, verbatim

I want a coffee table book about the world's most beautiful libraries, made purely to be beautiful. The great halls, the ladders and galleries, dust in shafts of light, the smell of old paper implied in every frame. Photograph them like cathedrals. Sweeping interiors, intimate details, spines and marble and wood. Light, evocative text that honors what these places are and then gets out of the way. Design it as a genuine oversized art book, stunning cover, generous layout, the images given room. Something I leave on the table and open again and again.

What the room did

A 21-page square art book: sweeping interiors and intimate details, light text that honors the places and gets out of the way, made to be opened again and again.
