I love to see heavily laden bookshelves in peoples homes. A quick glance at the books tells me a lot about what makes up that person. Unfortunately if I saw a library consisting mainly of hardback classics then my first thought would be that the owner had simply purchased a library in the same way you and I might buy groceries. Obviously this would still tell me a lot about the owner but it might not be the impression they were hoping for. If I was feeling playful then I might start picking titles and asking for the owner's opinion.
The available voting options are very restricted. I do think it's wonderful having a great collection of good books but I think collecting only hardbacks (and particularly hardback classics) smacks of trying too hard to impress. YMMV.
I couldn't vote.
