Yes, book lovers tend to be homebodies... and here are the volumes you need to help you make your homes (and garden spaces) truly wonderful, cozy, welcoming, perfect for entertaining, self-sustaining, economical, magical, psychologically healthy, conducive to maintaining good relationships and, of course, great places to curl up and read more books.
