Here's a few pictures of Manguel's old library: https://thesleeplessreader.com/2012/09/24/the-library-at-nig...

It doesn't look like 35k books. Must be very efficiently stacked in there.

Very efficient indeed! I would guess the wide bottom shelves hold double rows at least. If I use my own meagre collection of not even 1000 books as a guide, I would estimate that that room can hold about 20000 books if used as efficiently as possible.

That room looks blissfully comfortable.
