    These are all great stacks, and so different! I am a huge collector of art technique and reference books, so of course, I'm always excited to see what resides on other artists's bookshelves.

    Thanks for the visit and comment on mine, too :)

    This is an incredible assortment of stacks. I think this is the first time I've seen tags stacked, but I sure like all the color and beauty you get from these stacks. Looks like you have a lot of books, too. I had to laugh at the "Big-Ass" title. Sorry I'm late arriving, but I'm determined to see all the stacks by the end of today.
