Show us your bookshelf.

Bookshelf? As in one? As any librophile, I have many and not enough.
This bookshelf is my main bookshelf and only the top half. The shelf to the left is stacked double high and double back with paperback books. And I still feel as though I don't have enough books.
My dream is to have a library in my house a room like in My Fair Lady or in Beauty and the Beast. Two stories of books from the floor to the ceiling. Those books would all be well read and well loved; they would NEVER be a decoration for decoration sake. That's just wrong.
This first picture is the bottom of the left bookcase in the picture above--just so you know the shelf does go to the floor.
Below that, is the bookcase full of our technical and educational books.
Next is the small bookcase in Mic's room. Although most of the books are on the floor being looked at.
Lastly is the bookcase in Lorelei's room which has most of the kids books on it. Those are all the picture books and their age group books. All the other older kid books are on my shelves which I still on occaison enjoy reading, like Redwall and any book Roald Dahl wrote.
I really want to design and make a set of bookshelves that are not only space saving, but hold more books than the average bookcase. I am thinking of a bookcase that pulls out of the wall to reveal MORE shelves and can also (of course) be adjusted in height. I also want to be able to pull a sliding wall over a few of the bookcase panels to hang pictures and such. One can never have too much wall space in which to hang family pictures.
