/lame for sniping the first comment
//not lame for digging my own instructable
///should have since this guy screwed up my name
////slashies! - aptmunich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36They're like offline internet minus the comments...
- qwertydvorak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32actually if you get used ones, sometimes the comments are in the margins
- Mjuboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Nice idea.
I'm gonna try this out soon......with a Harry Potter. - astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12RAY: Symmetrical bookstacking...Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1937...
PETER: You're right...No human being could stack books like this...
- Ghostbusters - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"
DUGG!!
"To be or not to be"
In Soviet Russia, states of being are you!
"parting is such sweet sorrow"
but will it blend?
"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
...
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
im in ur potionz, strengthenin ur magik - mrTribal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11It means the person who submitted this article has wasted far too much time playing Dungeons & Dragons.
- anguijm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12and yet you still felt the need to reply.....
- imeddy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12"Books"? What are these "Books" you speak of? ;-)
- clokwise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This one does the same thing, much more elegantly, without destroying any books:

Use the zoom to see how it's done. What you can't quite see is it uses a very tiny clear tab on the bottom to keep the cover of the bottom book closed. - Gir53457, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It's not like you will be reading anything.
- gatekillr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11I think this is a really unique Idea. Will try this in my new house for comedy and practicality values :)
- nateboom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I kept reading it as "Castration level 7", and I NEVER want to see an instructable about that
- snurfle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9One does not "waste" time playing AD&D.
- raeldc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I could apply the same idea with my DVD cases.
- xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Then you should have submitted it at that time. By not taking the proactive step, you are the one at fault. Remember, digg does not normally create content, just link to it.
- longboarder543, on 10/12/2007, -8/+13Or try my 2-step method for achieving the same results:
1. Apply insane amounts of crazy glue to the wall surface where the invisible bookshelf will reside.
2. Adhere books to bookshelf (aka. wall with glue)
Bookshelf !!! - catfive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is that an Invisible Bookshelf in your leg, or are you just happy to see me?
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I checked the length of the screws first, but thanks for your concern.
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4for the record I did get the idea http://www.digg.com/design/Invisible_bookshelf_-_floating_stacks_of_books_for_your_walls_ there like a few months ago, but my way is cheaper, far less efficient and leaves a bigger hole in the wall.
- goeatsmsht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Did anyone notice that in step 4 it appears that he is resting the book on his leg and drilling the wood screws into it.
Can you say Invisible Bookshelf in my leg? - cyclonesworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm disappointed. I was expecting a picture of a cat appearing to be sitting on something and the caption "INVISIBLE BOOKSHELF!"
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3actually... I've never played D&D. But I think I might enjoy it if I were given the opportunity.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5HEY, ONLY $9.99 Here.
Not to be lazy, but why not just buy one from The Container Store:
Invisible Book Shelf: http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000013849623&pubid=21000000000094937 - bifbangpow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this was in BUST magazine a couple of years ago. very cool idea.
- MinDistortion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's Kick Ass!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How about kicking it up a notch? Find a wall stud, open a small hole in the wall, and screw a beefier bracket inside the wall. That would allow you to clear off the shelf without seeing the ugly bracket on the outside.
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2thanks anyway.... no biggie.
- rebotfc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not a bad idea, nailing Anne Coulter to the wall.
The bitch would wreck the wallpaper though. - dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wife and sister-in-law, why is that hilarious?
- thwackitechnica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's why you use Anne Coulter for the bottom book. At least, that's what I plan to do.
- xrisnothing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@JIMBOB7813
Yellow Book is one of many directory listings. When a new directory comes out, I get two or three different ones on my doorstep, Yellow Pages and Yellow Book included. - EelfinnTy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I've heard of these places called libraries that seem to be everywhere. Occasionally they have sales where you can get books cheap. The one on my collage campus had a section of free books that they were trying to give away, or so I've heard. Don't destroy YOUR book destroy the LIBRARY'S!
disclaimer: destroying books that the library wants back is prob not a good idea. - azAZ09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How can you tell how strong it is when all of the books on it are fluff ?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I made one of those:
http://www.antiquelampco.com/Pictures/Holidays/Cheshire%20Cat.gif - seatowngrrl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2kick ass, I am going to put some of these up in my studio.
- below413, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I suppose you could use your cat instead of the bottom book... I'm not sure how much your cat would like being anchored to the wall with screws though.
- JIMBOB7813, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Yellow Pages is called Yellow Book in America?
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@azAZ09 I'll admit that Eragon is fluff. It's a much much better book than a movie.
but C.S. Lewis' space trilogy fluff? I think not. He laces science fiction with deep theological themes, decades before L. Ron Hubbard.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Trilogy - De3po, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1But what if your guests decide they want to read the bottom book?
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1if you're worried about it, buy a spare.
- sendakseuss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0never mind, wrong place for the comment. Delete?

Thanks but.. Gah! the pinkness hurts mine eyes! - mourningdove, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This one doesn't need to wreck a book. Go to goodwill and buy a book you don't care about to do it. Twenty five cents. No one is hurt, and an unloved book finds a home.
- LordSkywalker, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6I'd rather have a real bookshelf.
- dorxincandeland, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2@mahdaeng
I think the point is the illusion. - digiSal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1damn that copy and past stuck that ON at the end of your name. Cool instructable though! I think i just saw it on Lifehacker to!
- mahdaeng, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1actually, why not just use a clear, l-shaped piece of plastic? you could then just stack books on that and not have to ruin one or be stuck with the same one on the bottom all of the time.
