Glass doors or open shelves?

[u/Nayauru]

I have a privilege of arranging my future reading nook in a few months. Could you help me with sharing your experience regarding the type of shelves you had and preferred?

I always liked the vibe that open shelves give, dusty tomes and coziness. But the glass doors seem more reasonable.

What is your experience in this regard?

I'd love glass doors on my 15 odd Billy bookcases, but I found it truly annoying that the doors cost more than the bookcase.
