On the shelves of Walker's library I see a lot of books facing the viewer with their covers, not with their spines, as usual. This means that books are used primarily for decoration. It also means that for every book strategically placed like that there are 4-5 books totally covered and obscured by it. Not to mention that there are too many curiosities in Walker’s library that draw attention away from the books. Heaven forbid that our institutional libraries become more like this one.
