How many book cases can you buy for £18,000?

Here in the UK the major news this week has been about MPs fraudulently claiming things on their expenses, which the UK taxpayer has to foot the bill for. The latest scandal is that Labour MP Tam Dalyell is said to have claimed £18,000 for book cases. The thing I was most shocked about is that you can actually spend that amount of money on a book case, and so I decided to look into how what you can buy for that amount of money.

I don’t know what he spent his £18,000 on. All I can say is that I wish I had that amount of money to spend on book shelves, and a home big enough to put them in.

Do you like any of these book cases?

What is your idea of the perfect book case?

Though I now it is the plainest of all the choices I really like the first one. It’s simple and has a natural wood color, which I like, and it goes with the color of most of the wood in my apt.

Candy – I have overflowing ones at the moment – I think I’d prefer one which has space to add lots more books to – a VERY big one!

Sandy – I do like the spiral one, but as you say it wouldn’t fit in – I’d love to see it filled with books though.

Well that is the second favorite. I recently added a wall of bookshelves to my son’s old room and it was lovely. It is at least half full though as I had books piling up on the floors for awhile.

I am really picky about book cases. I did want some really amazing art deco patterned ones and then went really off them, for 18,000 I would propbably have bought some just because I could. Mine are beech however.

I like the top one. Useful and not an eyesore 😉
I can see £ 18,000 solving some of our storage problems, and we might even have room for most of the shelves.

I think we’re all agreed – we love book cases!!

uncertainprinciples – I love all those ones too – especially the ones on the stairs!
