I like the main idea of these bookshelves. But if you were to actually use these, you would need over 100 books to fill most of the bookshelves.

Book shelves don’t just hold books, you CAN fit games in there too, and I”m sure people have over 100 books, games, magazines, and photo albums in total, and besides if you don’t then you probably wouldn’t need a book self >__________> and thus your wasting space.
also I wants the story line shelf.

Would need over 100 books? and that’s a problem, how? lol. I just packed up over 20 boxes of books for moving, and that’s not all of them. I would need the USA twice, at least! Very cool ideas!

100 books? How about 1000? or 3000? I have too many books and too little space to spend much of it on clever and creative but sadly ineffecient designs. I had well over 100 running feet of books befor my last move. Sadly there wasn’t enough room in my new abode to keep them all.

i love all of these, but shouldnt texas in the US bookshelf have no books in it? XD
indeed, you dont have to keep books on them. i have games,DVDs and the like which could also neatly take up residence in these beautiful works of art.

Ha, I read what I expected to see, and completely misread Mr Great’s problem in reverse! In other words: if you were to actually use these, you would need over 100 shelves to fit most of your books. With my collection I’d have to have hundreds of speech bubbles or trees… not that that’s a bad thing mind!

i think these are just cool looking, normally for aesthetic purposes… if you really do want to store a lot of books, i suggest investing in a big and sturdy bookshelf. i would totally some of these to store some of my junk though… :D

The books don’t look very happy in the US, do they? And I wonder about the spines on the hanging ones.
Of course, my bookshelf is full of dvd’s, and my table is full of books, so really, anything is better than what I have right now.
A giant wall of cartoon quotes would rock. And you could put books on top of them too, if you had ends.
