The funkiest library around!

Vanity Fair magazine is always up on the latest fashions and world happenings.  I am never sure what to think of this magazine, which is a mixture of fashion, beauty and models but always has page after page of interesting and informative articles relating to world events or hot topics.  In the April 11, 2008 issue, their travel writer, Victoria Mather let the world in on her favourite library ever.  (The beautiful photos were taken by Barbara Kraft.)

This library has fiber optic lighting which changes colour throughout the evening and sports the top ten beach reads of the moment.  And what happens when a book is well read?  They pop in a new copy so that their guests can read fresh pages and have crisp spines on their books.  You can visit their site here.

Now that is luxury!
