If you had to pick one designer bookshelf, or minimalist awesome bookshelf, what would it be? Please post a picture or link? I am looking for a bookshelf for all my design, animal, marketing, architecture, and finance books.

I always had a soft spot for the Tetris bookshelf.

This is as minimalist as it gets!

open shelves just gathers a lot of dust, I prefer to keep my stuff behind doors instead:

Asplund - Vass

(the "Rand"-collection is even more my style!)

exactly!

Except for vinylrecords, all my media & books nowadays are digitized. (Scansnap FTW!) (well, the vinyls are digitized too, but they still ocupy some physical space as I have kept them around for now...)

Vinyl. That takes me back. My music collection started as Vinyl, then went to tapes. Then I moved onto CD's but most of these got stolen in the 90's. Now I'm digital all the way. The tapes and vinyl became landfill many years ago I'm afraid.

I agree cupboards are easier dust wise but I love the look of books on display too much to shut them away.

There's a style called "lawyer's bookcase" or "barrister's bookcase" that has glass doors. Usually the doors slide up, rather than swing out.

yep, lots of books, mags and vinyls adds a lot of "life" to a room and that might be wanted by most people...?
