apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Pretty funny, and pretty awesome!

Anyone know what kind of flower is in the first photo? it's adorable!

Oh please. Books are not sacred objects.

Anyway, the little peaked roof design is great. I'm constantly leaving books splayed out like that (easier than looking for a suitable bookmark).

@Lorim65: I think the flower is an English Daisy. Not sure of the true botanical name.

Books are TOO sacred objects! This is disgraceful! Horrible! What's next? Dog-eared pages? Cracked spines? Bent covers?

The book is resting at a narrower angle than while being read, thus it is being damaged less than while being read. And since the book is being supported along the full length of its spine, the pages and covers do not contribute their weight towards damaging the spine, as they do while leaving a book face-down on a flat surface. These book rests aren't damaging at all.

I thought the books were glued down or something at first. The idea of it being a book rest is great!

Books are sacred. Good books are at least. I buy paperbacks at yard sales and such so that I can do such things to them. Read them outside, read while eating, set them on the couch while I walk away for a bit even though the dog might jump up and steal my seat, read them in bed where I might fall asleep while reading and roll over on the book or knock it off onto the floor. I could never and would never do such things to a library book. However, if I own the book, I will. Especially cheap novels.
