Sometimes it feels like the End Times for the lover of the printed word, and that awakens in us the urge to surround ourselves with the dog-eared volumes we love.

Some of the items on this list cost thousands of dollars or aren’t for sale. But you can buy this one-of-a-kind book lamp on Etsy for 60 bucks.
