Travel notes in the spirit of eros libros. This page indexes all my bookporn, produced between 2007-2011, when I was an itinerant PhD student and found many occasions to trespass in libraries, bookstores and book-museums across the world, often wielding a stealthy camera. Asterisks denote favourites! — though, like Calvino’s cities, or like past lovers, I have loved each these rooms of books uniquely, as much as I now love them as markers of the tangled passage I have made through space and time.
