it was a good deal - but needs a few more shelves - getting those measured today to get 3 more shelves in place
Congratulations!
I sure wish I had a similar room

http://www.llumar.com/film-benefits/.../uv-protectionThere will be blinds in all of the rooms - so all of the windows will be covered - so should be okay - but please let me know what type of film you were talking about
Jerome's example is a good one. There are a lot of options that all have varying levels of quality, UV protection, visibility, and price. You may want to search for local professionals that install the glass coatings and discuss options and costs to have it done professionally. You may choose to do the windows in the room. You may choose to do the windows of the bookcases. Or both.

Got some new bookcases and been trying to figure out the best way to arrange my books. Here's a couple of shots showing most of my King Collection. Not the best photos, too much glare. I will probably rearrange the books and take better photos when I do.

Beautiful! There's nothing better than bookcases filled with King!
BTW, are those IKEA?
No, they're custom. My cousin is a contractor and they were left in an apartment he was renovating. I got them for free!

They look fricken sweet.
Very impressive.
They look great!!

I was thinking of adding doors with glass to the ones on the bottom, to keep the dust off.

Very nice. I like the clear cover you have over the Dark Tower set. Is it plastic or glass?

The base is solid glass. I commissioned a company to build to speck (with a little play should a new one get released) to build it out of glass as well... they came back with the price... WOW... I said no. The bottom was easy as it was just a flat piece. I have a solid wood base being made now... pics to follow. I got the top done at a plastics place for $115 CAD ($98ish US)... and it could not have TURNED OUT BETTER... you would be very surprised to see how much dust I whip off the top of it... glad it is not touching my prized books

That chair is clearly meant for me.
Really nice cases/displays, everyone.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Now that's an awesome looking room
Thanks for the kind words and compliments, everyone.
I sooo need more bookshelf space.
Nice work guys!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Don't we all?I sooo need more bookshelf space.
LOL - I guess it's all relative BobDon't we all?I sooo need more bookshelf space.

It is indeed all relative. Even with all my bookcases, it seems like I'm always in a state of critical mass, where the shelves are so tight that any new book introduced requires either removal of a book or its placement tucked behind the lines of books.
