Books have but one fault. They do love to fall over. Luckily, I have no such problem - I have so many books, they are crammed together and simply can't fall down. If however, you don't have so many, or you want to proudly display your literature collection, you need bookends. And what's better than shop bought bookends? DIY Bookends!
