Like books? Like to eat? Get inspired by these 12 kitchens for book lovers.

From a cozy country kitchen in Connecticut to a minimalist retreat in Australia, these 12 kitchens have one thing in common: a celebration of books. While some re-create the feeling of a favorite local bookstore, with floor-to-ceilling shelves, low-glowing lights and intimate reading nooks, others channel a fine art gallery, displaying books as you would a precious painting or sculpture on carefully crafted furniture pieces.
