This was one of the tiny handful of places which I have photographed which will forever stick out in my mind as unique. This entire house was covered in thousands of old books. Books literally covered every square inch of the floor space in this house. Enough easilly to fill a small library, perhaps. There are some locations I will probably never forget. This was one of them.

That sure is a lot of books. You can build a library with that.

No better way to say it. I feel like someone who hoards books this hard has got to be a madcap.

Wow so many books. It’s so amazing to find a house full of books. Bookworms will truly enjoy that house.

What happened to that place? I hope they don’t throw those books away.

I would love to read all of that. I hope they would save the books.

That is a lot of books. Did the tornado went here or something? It can be a wreck.

Are all those bibles? Whoever lived here must have been very religious!

What a huge collection of books this is! Those would take decades to read through!

This house must have housed a full time reader. I’m a book lover but yet to have a quarter of that quantities of books.

What a shambolic mess! I pity whoever has to clean this up.

This must have been a library of sorts. That many books can only be found in a library.

I’m pretty sure there are some valuable manuscripts in this collection. Vintage books can be so valuable.

This place is extremely cluttered.. Is it a library?..why is the place so cluttered?

This must have been an old library that was abandon and forgotten. These are too many books to belong to one person.

lt’s so sad that these books are left in a very bad shape. I hope there still books that can be read.
