Karl Lagerfeld's book perfume & library

I can't imagine what this might smell like, but click on the link at the bottom for a view of some of the designer's 300,000 book library.

Lignin, (what breaks down and creates acid in wood-pulp paper) is related to vanilla. I guess that's why they use wood-alcohol to make artificial vanilla. Book perfume makes sense.

More on Lagerfeld and a few others. I didn’t know about George Lucas. http://lithub.com/10-famous-book-hoarders/

:'( Karl has gone to the great design house in the sky. I guess it's time to move him to the Legacy Libraries group. His personal book collection was massive. It will be interesting to see what happens to the books. I have one garment that he designed and found his work to be more wearable than most high end designers. Not a clothes horse here, but always on the lookout for a clearance sale.
