Despite the advent of e-books, many of us still value the tactile experience of flipping through a paper book. These creative bookshelves, then, are the perfect places to store our collections of little literary treasures.

There's nothing wrong with a heavy, old-school bookcase, but most of these bookshelves cater to modern sensibilities, using creative and diverse designs to become interior décor statements in their own right. If you know of any cool bookshelves or book cases that belong on this list, please add them!

    I don't understand. Won't the hard cover of the bottom most book dangle down?

    Perfect cookbook storage. And you could add a book keeper to hold an open book in place while you are cooking for easy reading.

    It's not really a skull bookshelf it's just how you place the things already on them

    Continuing to promote the status of owning a breed simply ignores the need for people to adopt dogs from shelters!!! You CAN find a dog which suits your/your families needs, desires, and wants from adoptive services for animals. Please, do not promote the buying of breed specific--even tho some of you rich people can afford it, you simply help perpetuate the problems of pet overpopulation! AND a second thing: REAL MEN DON'T NEED BALLS. . . .on their dogs.
