A Boy and a Bedside Bookshelf (Detail)

Some of the titles on the spines of the books in the bedside bookshelf photo are visible in this enlargement. At least fifteen of the twenty-two books are Modern Library imprints (see the list below). I was able to make out the Modern Library's running torchbearer logo on many of the books.
