Book TV Whenever I watch TV shows like Downton Abbey I notice the magnificent libraries lined with leather-bound books I usually pick out a book from the highest shelf and wonder what’s on page one There are so many Who picked them out Do some never get read Have others given inspiration to the reader to break away and do something new maybe there’s a missing book left on a train Do the books stay with the house like part of its red blood cells giving the rooms life or do they get sold off in hard times with the furnishings Maybe they could write a whole episode on a book in the library.
