The Jewel of P-listers' library

[Ya Sam]

Talking of the shelf-space and big libraries:

"When the former hotel building in Milan where Umberto Eco lives was 
converted into flats, he preserved the winding corridors as a labyrinthine 
library, housing some 30,000 volumes. The shrine to learning seems apt for 
the creator of the 14th-century monastery in The Name of the Rose (1980),"
