  2. I snapped this in a hotel room in a not-yet-opened hotel in Portland. When I went into the room to look at the books, I realized they were glued together. Not sure what the hotel was planning for them...

  3. real books glued together? or fake boko towers like they put in their fake libraries for the genuine atmosphere?

  4. Real books, glued together. I am not sure what they were going to be used for. I'm fairly sure they were not going to be left in the hotel room. Maybe they were headed to the hotel's "business lounge."
