I have recently added a new feature to the website, Academic Alley, the store here at Sententias.  I’ll be developing and adding more stuff later on but I have a partnership with Amazon, which allows me to do this.  There will be two major sections to the store: the academic aesthetics and books.  The academic aesthetics has items similar to what I have and use that add to the picturesque academic persona and atmosphere.  For instance, in me office at home I have a desk surrounded by bookshelves with my personal library.  Some decor I have in the office is some large canvas paintings (say, 5′ x 4′), two different types of globes (I’ll keep one in the office and the other one elsewhere in the house), a recliner off to the side with a lamp for some casual reading, a love-seat and coffee table for a comfortable atmosphere, my wife’s desk, and seven tobacco pipes on a pipe rack.  The pipes simply add to the atmosphere and actually keep that rich smell in the air.
