I got this idea from a bunch of Science loving folks on twitter who were doing a Science nerd's Shelfie shot (a photograph of their book shelf, with their hobbies books on it).
So, to start it all off heres my Wargamers Shelfie

It's like you snuck behind me into my study! Did you?
Great idea for the thread. Must organize my shelf so that I can submit a pic. First I gotta move all of the wife's girly books out of the way though!
OK, I gotta figure out which shelf to take...
Cool ldea!
Make sure you set your image's width so that it's not scrollable.
Instead of [img]your picture's URL here[/img]
make it [img width=800]your picture's URL here[/img]
...if it's over 800 pixels in width, that is. ;) And if you don't care, that's cool too, lol.

Here also. I have all my books mixed together, history, fiction, and whatnot- one bookcase in the living room, one bookcase in my bedroom, and three bookcases in my 'den'. Also one bookcase in the bedroom with my boxed dead-tree games. I'll try to get a montage of them tomorrow.

Need to replace my old kobo with a kindle.
What will happen first, a grog review from Star or Orange Crush getting released?

Yes that is more likely than you completing a review.
Here is just a small sample of my collection. I've got books spread out through the house and need to bring them all to one spot. 8)

dear god man size order, size order!!!!
big left, little right
and what have you done to the Horus Heresy books?
I think the value of the thread is in seeing titles that may interest you. So the only shots that dont count are ones where you cant see what the blob on the shelf is.
Hey! You can read at least a few titles in my shelfies! :))
Yes, and your picks are some of the ones I want to consider. Hint hint.
What caught your eye?
Let me rephrase. You probably have some good stuff in there, it is hard to tell. If you put your camera on something so it doesn't shake in the long exposure of dim light, people could look further into the titles. Like look them up on amazon.
I'll try and redo some if I can find my Olympus camera. The ones I posted were done with my old iPhone 3 which doesn't like dim light at all.
I'll say one good thing about my Windows phone - it takes excellent pics, unlike the iPhone. However when my contract on this damn thing is up next year I'm going with the 6 (or 7 or 8 or whatever the hell they have by then) because I otherwise hate this Windows phone.
Your effort is appreciated.
I see several books from several people I want to read by the fireplace. Still waiting for Star's bookshelf. ;-)
Most of my real books that you guys would be interested in are still in boxes. I have 3 bookshelves up with almost all titles Business, Architecture, science/engineering, Construction. You guys want to see the SF/Fantasy paperbacks, games, etc. It's in storage.

Haha! Dammit geek, I'm an engineer not a librarian. :)
I have to admit though I never really did have a good eye for organizing a bookshelf, DVD shelf, or any shelf for that matter. I need bookshelf organization tutoring.
As for my Heresy collection. I've lent out a couple of the titles to my friend and some others I didn't buy because I was able to read them from my local library. I still haven't finished the series. I've got book 14 I think that I bought a few months ago and haven't even started yet.
And your not putin down my right of free speech.
I can't help thinking that Vladdie's last name sounds vaguely like a rude word in Spanish.
