My husband promised to get me a nice bookcase for my cookbooks when we moved into our house a year and a half ago. And now finally we have found someone who makes them, and very well too. Isn't it a beauty? http://www.flickr.com/photos/wester/13221669244/
I sort them alphabetically on author. I don't have to put the larger cookbooks on a different shelf now - the bookcase I had before was too low for many of my cookbooks.
Wow -- that is nice! Nice sofa and wood floors, too. I store my cookbooks in an old oak bookcase that I picked up in an antique store more than 25 yrs ago. It has a label that it was made for inside a laboratory, and I'd bet its more than 100 yrs old. But right now, most of my cookbooks are in cardboard boxes, hoping that a new kitchen will be forthcoming.
