That, my friends, is a shot from inside The Dallas Morning News book room, giving you a peek at what happened when book review editor Michael Merschel “neglected to shelve books for a couple weeks.”

The excellent Book Publicity Blog is collecting photos of book reviewers’ overloaded bookshelves–illustrating both a passion for books and the overwhelming glut of titles that will never get reviewed.

See all the photos on the Flickr stream, and share your photos by emailing bookpublicityblog[at]gmail[dot]com. The whole bookshelf photograph movement was inspired by a GalleyCat Reviews post last week, a peek inside the Philadelphia Inquirer‘s bookshelf.
