This is just too freakin' cool to not share. See how many medieval  
style books you can spot in the video.

This is the library of a Dutchman named Guus Thurkow. It has since  
been sold to a museum in The Hague.

The Bibliotheca Thurkowiana Minor is a breathtakingly beautiful old  
world library filled with
hand-crafted leather tomes nestled in exquisite mahogany bookcases.
No human has ever walked its halls, climbed its stairs, or sat at its  
tables because this library
is no more than eight feet long and four feet high; its books no  
taller than your little finger.
Good things truly come in small packages.

And here are some links to his library:
