Books as Props
For politicians as much as movie and TV soundstages, apparently.

And yes, I've seen news reports of libraries on cruise ships. I have a Haynes Manual detailing the history of the Queen Mary II, and that vessel does have a reading library aboard her. I suppose Books By the Yard's management and staff have already heard of such themselves more directly.

Even when I had bookshelves for my home library I learned to keep a little slack space! :-)

I learned it the hard way from being such a bibliophile in years past. Now probably 95%+ of my book purchases are ebooks and magazines are a similar number. And having purged such a huge number of physical books, my purchases are much more manageable. I get one print subscription, the cooking magazine Milk Street, and I think only one emagazine, The Atlantic. We get a couple of electronic newspaper subscriptions, a local, NYT, and I think WaPo. We would like to pay for Slate, but we consider their price to be kind of ridiculous.
