Books you can’t reach?  You likely need an 1890′s French staircase to get them.  Cast iron with wrought iron ballistrades, brass finishing and stained oak steps.  Better access to those first editions.  Top-shelf gives you something to lean on while perusing, and a place to rest your drink.  Your guess is as good as ours on how much it weighs.  Shipping not included in the pricetag . . . $35,000.  BUY
