Wall Panels

Artfully arranged around the room are panels of custom wallpaper featuring antique bookplates and quotes from writers on the art of writing juxtaposed with panels of handmade, Italian bookbinding paper showcasing artwork and collectibles.

A chair rail wraps the room with more famous words -- the opening lines of Poe's poem, "The Raven."

"I love the feel of a new book. The smooth cover, crisp pages and tight spine tell me I'm the first to crack it open. I love the smell of a new book. The combination of paper and glue makes me swoon. There's no denying it. I'm addicted."

-- Kelly McCarthy
