I've made a couple of small bookcases and small tables. Now, I want to build six foot long shelves. I live alone and am in a bit of a dilemma about how to do this. Any ideas? Got to have these utility shelves. Don't really have walls to attach to there. Deb good and simple. I’ve made a couple of small bookcases and small

I agree. I loath to see books sitting on shelves like they’ve never been read, being displayed like trophies.

Positively influences behavhior, or turns you into a pompus snob? You've mentioned this to me before and I still believe that the number of books a person has means NOTHING, other than they have enough money to buy these books, but not necessarily read them. By this logic, I could go buy a bunch of books that I want to reflect "me," and that would add to my decorum and, in your eyes, raise me to an acceptible social standing. Totally ignorant!

It's a history of the shelf and how its evolution mirrors that of civilation. No kidding. The author writes: <blockquote>... the presence of bookshelves greatly influences our behavior.</blockquote> Think about THAT. I should’ve mentioned this in my post:
