Love your Bible dictionaries and commentaries. That’s exactly what I have to store too

I just place my heavier book on the bottom 2 shelves. Then place smaller lighter books on the other shelves.

Great piece Patrick (from another Patrick). I was planning on doing the same - because there is no easy solution, other than doing what you are suggesting to folks - from book shelf to book shelf to book shelf. I also have multiple book shelves as you do and I have to do the measurements and get on over to a hardware shop with wood... and stain them silver/gray...

Confirming what I was thinking of doing. Great minds think alike lol cheers buddy 👍

Did exactly this about 5 years ago. Works a treat.

I'm not a collector per se, just a readaholic with many books. Been thinking on this more than I should. I'd like to find an inexpensive way to disguise vertical weight relief boards (like yours here) as books. Then they can be in the midst of the rest, not detracting, and giving some measure of relief to each shelf in my floor-to-ceiling shelves. Suggestions?

Good idea! Just wondering if you could get some thrift books and place the outside cover around the wood to disguise it. Then you'd have some support without seeing the wood?

Yep, I plan to upgrade to the Ikea Billy cases. Slight upgrade from the cheaper Walmart pressboard shelves.
