## Caption

Atop a five-story residential townhouse wedged between designer boutiques on New York’s Upper East Side is a 1,100-square-foot apartment that’s home to over 4,500 books and their owner, the 78-year-old designer and collector Peter-Ayers Tarantino. Tall, neat piles are stacked everywhere: volumes on South American art, on the history of interior design, on British eccentrics, on American Jazz Age writers, on the Ballets Russes.
