I'm an avid book collector, and I was wondering what house has the most bookshelves in Skyrim. I currently only own the Whiterun house, which has 2 bookshelves of 2 shelves each.
Is there a house I could buy that has more bookshelves?
Edit
Since not all bookshelves hold the same number of books, I'm looking for the house that has the most spaces on bookshelves for books, not necessarily the most bookshelves

Windhelm House has in fact 12 shelves, each capable of holding 11 books. There are four bookshelves (with 2 shelves each) and one taller bookshelve (with 4 shelves) with the total of 12 shelves, the house can hold 132 books.
I just bought that house in order to get the Windhelm Home Decorating Guide book.
Edit:
Alright, I own 4 houses in Skyrim, so here im listing the houses and its book space numbers (Only Interactive bookshelves).

Riften - Honeyside: 72 Books

Thats it.
