Can a library ladder make you a super hero?

I think I’ve mentioned it here before, but I’m not particularly a fan of the recent slew of superhero movies we’ve been presented with as of late. But I can’t help but think of Batman’s alter-ego when I look over this home office/library, however the red ‘Batphone’ appears to be missing. But the library ladder will allow you to “Soar” to the top of the bookcases in super hero fashion! The use of a library ladder system allows you to create high vertical storage that you can reach with ease.

That said, a missing ‘Bat phone’ shouldn’t prevent anyone from enjoying this classy ‘highbrow’ office/den. You’d have to believe that the occupant/owner is well-read…or at least a semi-serious book collector. Were this my place, there’d surely be old records, CDs and operating manuals in place of these ‘proper’ bits of literature and culture. It’s possibly uncommon knowledge that the most intellectual books are generally placed high out of reach….which makes this rolling library ladder a highly sought after item for literary aficionados as well as overall knowledge seekers.

Speaking of which, I’ve read that to become a well-read individual requires…surprisingly, lots of reading. And you can’t be an effective reader without the proper lighting to illuminate it all. And with that, this ceiling’s recessed LED lighting on display here can be carefully selected for your own library (or mad scientist’s lab) based on your lighting needs. You’ll very often hear about folks choosing their lighting color based primarily on how much they want the words to ‘pop’ off of the written page. 

Now, if www.WoodworkerExpress.com only sold rocking chairs…
