It's just about looking like a cliché of wealth. And that includes thick books in muted colors on oak shelves, globes, maps, leather furniture and whiskey in crystal decanters.
Even if it's trash books, outdated globes, pointless maps, uncomfortable furniture and shit whiskey.
If you ever were in a university, you would see their actually useful libraries are full of softcovers in primary colors and weird, impossible to match formats, everyone uses Google maps or digital maps, you sit in wooden chairs and nobody drinks whiskey.
