Into the world of celebrity book stylists

Bookworms have long known to never leave the house without reading material at their fingertips.

So they can be forgiven if they feel smug upon reading a New York Times piece on celebrity book stylists — in a nice role reversal, it's the rich and famous imitating the regular folks of this world.

The Times examines the trend of curating a celebrity's reading material, be it in-home or out and about town, and poses the question: Does it disrespect the art form of the novel?

For a shorter and lighter take on the issue, head to the Guardian, which shared the gotcha moments that certain famous figures encountered after their shelf stylist usage was revealed.
