Gentleman Jack

 


Bottle has been sitting on the shelf, unopened, for three years. I want the bottle itself this summer to hold tabasco peppers and vinegar as a decorative thing. I filled two smaller whiskey bottles with peppers this past summer and gave one away as a Christmas present.

Paperback Shelves Part 3

 


Section by the back window. More individual crime fiction author collections but also some paperback bestsellers. P.D. James in the bottom right corner. I have a very large collection of paperback crime fiction writers.

Lower shelves even harder to light. I took some of these old paperback bestsellers out of boxes in the closet so I could see what I had and read them again.
