MMmmmm... hello? I think the people that are saying that is not cool to use books because they are "books" are missing the point that you waste more trees trying to 'build book shelves" than using books that will go to a recycle bin (hopefully!) to then be reused again.

Its amazing and I am all about it.

There are several places that you can support animal sanctuaries that use the proceeds to HELP the rest of the animals in south africa, they dont "hunt" them to kill them but when and if they die they use that to help the rest of the animals. Your money pays for the people to actually look after them and medically care of the animals. Endangered species ARE illegal for a reason so obviously dont ever go there.

These animals dont have a lot of resources so if you can help then do so its a win win situation. And there are plenty of great "vintage" animals out there too so you don't support it now. There are solutions and those need to be sought if you want to ethically acquire these pieces if your design aesthetic is such.

The look is classic and sophisticated -- and yes not for "everyone". Mixed with modern art pieces it can be pretty amazing, look at the book "Domestic Art: Curated Interiors" by Holly Moore they have some pretty stellar examples there.
