The most beautiful libraries in the world are historic and magical places where culture meets architecture. In The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World, the authors Guillaume de Laubier and Jacques Bosser, and photographer James H. Billington share their views of these architectural gems. Some of the libraries featured in the book are The New York Public Library, Library of the Institut de France, The Senate Library in Paris, Vatican Library in Rome, Boston Athenaeum and one of my personal favorites which is the National Library of Austria in Vienna.

Thanks Wendy,
Yes, the book is very good. And that photo is certainly Gotham like… I really admire Simona Dumitru’s photos btw. She has a lot of nice pictures at http://www.sxc.hu/profile/createsima if anyone’s interested.
Is there a way I can contact Simona about this print other than the website listed above? Please contact the email I was required to give.
Thanks,
Matt
