Invisible Shelving

We have a bit of a book storage problem.

  1. Too many books
  2. Not enough shelves

As a result many of our books are relegated to the garage in boxes. But there is a very nifty solution to this problem designed by Neil Barron. The solution is sticklebook. It's an invisible shelving system which gives the impression that the books are sitting on an invisible shelf. It uses a comb system to attach the books to the wall.

Sticklebook's comb will leave a small mark on the ends of the book leaves but
has been carefully designed to ensure as minimal marking as possible.

It looks very cool, and would create and awesome look if you had entire bookcase hanging in mid air off the wall. The only problem I can see is that how often do you find that books aren't a standard size... would make for some odd looking shapes.

Can we get some for when we move? Just imagine how cool my non-fiction books would look in the new dining room :)
