The Book Stalking Process →
Phase 1: Where are they?
- Where does you bookshelf live in your home? Is it in an obvious place or are you hiding it? Why are you hiding your books?
- Is the bookshelf built around the room or vice versa?
- Do you have a room specifically for books? Hot.
- Can I see your bookshelf after you’ve sat me down with a glass of wine? Even better.
- Did you spend money on your bookshelf or is it an IKEA atrocity? Wait, you built that?Awesome.
- Have you committed to a pure bookshelf? What’s the breakdown between books and non-books? This isn’t where I store books; it’s where I demonstrate that I love books.
- Is the arrangement chaotic or calm? Is this is a shrine or a utility?
- Vertical or horizontal stacking? What’s the rule? Is there a rule?
- Is it full? I read. A lot.
- Does your book arrangement tell a story? Can I find that story quickly or do I need you to tell it? Do you offer it?
- Do you use bookends? Are they functional or ornate? What’s their story?
- Are these the books I expect based on what I know about you?
- Do these books represent your entire life or just right now?
- Can I tell, at a glance, the three most important books?
- Which books are you… hiding?
- How do you react when you see me stalking your bookshelf? What’s the first story you’re going to tell?
- Is there a glaringly obvious book that does not belong? When do I get to ask you about it?
