Charles Leonard 5 Inch Steel Bookends, Brown - Heavy Duty Book Holder for Shelves, Office, Library & Home Decor (50 Pair, 87521) - Perfect for Organizing Books, Displaying Collectibles & Stylish Storage Solutions

I needed to store a bunch of books that I just can't bring myself to throw out. I have no idea how often I will read them again, if ever. But I want to be able to go back to them, so I bought some fairly cheap shelves and put them up in storage. When I went to look for bookends I was blown away by how expensive most all of them were. I didn't want decorative things, but simply functional things. These are those things! This is the type of bookend you find in most libraries. Simple and cheap, and does exactly what it is designed to do. I bought several pairs, and it was well worth it. If you aren't going for beauty, these will save you money and hold your books upright quite nicely.
