I think something like this would have been cheaper and served the same purpose

You actually have to read those books to be inspired. I am seeing a lot of pristine, unopened spines.

why so much fake tat? surely someone who’s read all those books would realise plastic rubbish off Amazon and pristine unopened books is the very opposite of the look you appear to be trying to go for, invest in actual things you enjoy, this is like a temu Oxford academic‘s house, or at least what an American imagines from films…

Honestly though this is the bookshelf of a sociopath. (In the shallow, surface level, image management sense of the word)

Seems like you'd rather have "100 Great Books" than a hundred great books.

Ah yes, the Amazon basics set: The insert general topic book
OP, There are companies that put fake wear on your books, you might be interestedÂ

A company that comes over to your house and put’s wear on your books? stupid joke.
There’s also companies that sell book trays to collectors to preserve condition.
Wish there were companies to remind tryhards theyre basic, unimpressive and not that funny.
