ONE PICTURE WORTH MILLIONS OF WORDS

Trinity College Library, University of Dublin


Editor’s note:  In honor of this blog’s one year anniversary of daily postings, we offer the following image.  The sheer volume of volumes keeps us humble when we start thinking we’re remotely hot stuff as far as word output.

VOLUME OF VOLUMES—We’re talking a lot of books here.  If the Bradbury building in LA had a library this is what it would look like.  In real life the image above is the library at Trinity College/University of Dublin.
