Jane Mount's Bookshelves in Angeleno Interiors Magazine

20x200 edition-maker Jane Mount's popular Ideal Bookshelf 1, JMM is featured in the current issue of Angeleno Interiors magazine.
About her series Jane writes,
When I look at a shelf of books I see huge clouds of ideas stuffed down into humble packages. We people like to show off our books on shelves like merit badges, because we're proud of the ideas we've ingested to make us who we are, and want to display our insides for others to see, hoping to make a connection or impression. I think this is endearing and charming, and also makes me feel a bit sad for us. And yet when I paint someone else's bookshelf and they have some of the same books I do, I feel inordinately joyful about it, and about them.
You can only grab the magazine if you live in LA, but no matter where you are in the world you can take Angeleno's advice and pick up some "primary-toned tomes" of your own from 20x200. Or, if children's books aren't your bag (but how could they not be?), Jane's other editions depict shelves of Moleskine notebooks and an eclectic collection of grown-up books.
