Obtaining[]
Natural generation[]
Bookshelves can generate in village libraries and sometimes village houses.
Strongholds may contain up to two libraries, each of which may be single-level or have an upper balcony. These feature some bookshelves arranged in pillars, and more bookshelves arranged in pillars in the walls. Single-level libraries contain 161 bookshelves, while libraries with balconies contain 233.
Bookshelves also naturally generate in certain woodland mansion rooms.
Breaking[]
Bookshelves can be broken fairly easily by hand, but can be broken faster by using an axe. In either case, they drop 3 books when broken, allowing the reconstruction of the bookshelf with the addition of six wood planks. When broken by an item that is enchanted with Silk Touch, a bookshelf drops itself.

Vertical
Traditional bookshelves can do anything. Seriously. Vertical bookshelves are a great way to really use that wall space by displaying your favorite books and special treasures.
Console
A modern console bookshelf is the ultimate versatile piece. Add it anywhere–an entryway, living or dining room–for storage that doesn’t take up too much wall space.
Ladder & Leaning
Chic, stylish & easy to move from place to place, a ladder or leaning bookshelf is a functional, minimalistic pick. They won’t overwhelm a small room & lean elegantly against a wall.
Cubbies
Got lots of stuff to store? Tuck away anything in cubbie bookshelf bins. It’s just a reach away, yet discreetly hidden.
Corner
Add useable space to a sometimes overlooked area. A compact, corner bookshelf is the perfect pick for a small space, because it’s an efficient use of every square foot.

I realized that this is not just a place to store books. The shelves interested me as independent and full-fledged artifacts, and I asked myself the question: where did they come from and how did they become like that? This question was followed by others, and for the answers I turned - right, to books. Books led me to libraries, and there, of course, I found new bookshelves. Although it may seem that a bookshelf is a simple structure both in design and in use, I realized that the evolution of the shelf, inseparable from the history of the book itself, is mysterious and incredibly fascinating. nine0003

Foreword
One evening I was sitting in my study and reading . Looking up from my book, I looked at my bookshelves and saw them in a new way. I realized that this is not just a place to store books. The shelves interested me as independent and full-fledged artifacts, and I asked myself the question: where did they come from and how did they become so? This question was followed by others, and for the answers I turned—that's right—to books. Books led me to libraries, and there, of course, I found new bookshelves. Although it may seem that a bookshelf is a structure that is simple both in design and in use, but I realized that the evolution of the shelf, inseparable from the history of the book itself, is mysterious and incredibly fascinating.

Books that have helped me understand and tell the history of bookshelves are listed in the bibliography. But about the libraries and their employees who helped me to compile this bibliography, I must say here. Many times I have found Duke University Libraries to be an inexhaustible source of materials for me, not only because they have excellent collections of their own, but also because they have an exchange system with libraries around the world. I am grateful to all the staff of the Perkins Library (the main library of the university) who provided me with a private booth for work and were of great help. Most of all I communicated with employees of the Alexander Vesich Engineering Library Dianna Himler, Tara Bowens and librarian Linda Martinez. I appreciate the patience with which they responded to my endless nitpicking requests. I am also indebted to Eric Smith, Perkins' indefatigable bibliographer-consultant, and university librarian David Ferriero, who supplied me with letters of recommendation to British libraries and encouraged me to contact Janet Chase, who works at the Library of Congress.
Not only did she take me through the library's historical vaults, which are closed even to most of the staff, she made it so that I could park right in front of the Thomas Jefferson building. Librarian of Congress Joseph Puccio gave me a very detailed and informative tour of the repositories, which at one time made a real revolution in librarianship. nine0003
I am also grateful to many other librarians and librarians for giving me free and unlimited access to the repositories and books from the collections. For my vague purposes, the most useful were the Yale libraries, namely the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library and the Sterling Memorial Library; as well as the illustrious Hydraulic History Department of the Rare Book Library of the University of Iowa; and the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology of the Smithsonian Institution, where Leslie Overstreet, Consultant Librarian of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, helped me a lot by showing me the Dibner Collection.
I am also grateful to the assistant librarian at Trinity College, Cambridge, Alison Sproston, who showed me the Wren Library; and to the librarian of Cambridge Magdalen College, Richard Luckett, and his assistant, Aude Fitzsimons: in spite of my late warning of my visit, they allowed me to inspect the library of Samuel Pepys. Thanks to Dan Lewis and Alan Giutzi of the Huntington Library for the rare book vault tour. nine0003
My editor Ashbel Green, his assistant Asya Muchnik, production editor Melvin Rosenthal, illustrator Robert Olsson, and everyone who helped turn my manuscript into this book once again demonstrated the excellence of Alfred A. Knopf; to all of them I am deeply grateful.
