Books by the foot?!?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!? [View all]

I’m currently sitting in my doctors waiting room. I pick up a copy of “House Beautiful” just to browse for fun.

A designer they talked to said she required as a non-negotiable for all her clients that they buy from a place called Books by the Foot to fill their bookshelves.

I immediately put the magazine back.

Is this what our intellectual life has become?!?!?

I have over 1000 books of my own!
But most people, I guess? Have a designer put random books on their shelves to look like they read?!?!?

I’m a relic, I guess.
