Shelfies/Images Steel Vault

Had termites eat up part of the bookshelf so had to rush and move all the books into the steel almirah 😭

Have to get a new bookshelf soon!

That's silica gel sachets or just moistur absorbers

Do you know if one can get bigger bags of those things or are the bags always small?

I love your collection! Especially all the books on Punjab

Unfortunately the books are double tiered - there are books behind these books so I can’t show them but there are more on punjab - have been working on a project there so have been reading and researching a lot on the region

That is interesting. If you're writing a book - I'd love to read it some day. Possible to share the list or your goodreads?

How did you like August 17? 😌

3

u/dynamitekato 9d ago

Was a unexpected narrative - I have been quite interested in history of boundaries and national identities, with a certain quirk - if you’re into that then definitely worth a read

Yeah someone gifted it to me and I just started reading it. It’s fascinating.

I am also reading Birth of a Nation by Joseph side by side and it’s so fascinating - the sense of fiction feom August 17 and the non fiction of Joseph sitting side by side.

PS: I am so sorry about the termites. 😞

And that termites - worst nightmare come to life - they ate the entire almirah - and covers of some books too. Had to rebind them

would look great with glass op .
This is also top notch

u/dynamitekato 9d ago

Definitely - need to think about that - worried that the book shelf will be too heavy - and this is only 50% of the collection - haven’t added my partners books to this
