Creating beautiful and unique ways to display books is something that really intrigues and delights me. I love seeing all the different way people have come up with to make their book experience enchanting. For me it’s even greater looking at space saving book storage solutions.

Regular visitors to Travel Between The Pages will be aware of my profound appreciation for the work of the Spanish environmental art collective Luzinterruptus.

The river of books, which was composed of more than 10,000 volumes, was created for the city’s Nuit Blanche Festival. Visitors were encouraged to pick one or more of the donated books to take home.
You may recall that Luzinteruptus created similar projects in Melbourne, Madrid, and New York City. Their continuing message remains the same: “We want literature to take over the streets and conquer public spaces, freely offering those passersby a traffic-free place, which for some hours, will succumb to the humble power of the written word.”
