Animal Bookends

In spite of their straight spines, books have terrible posture, slouching and leaning over on the shelf. These Animal Bookends ($68) are what you need to get them standing at attention again. They might look cuddly, but these guys are serious about their work and are filled with heavy steel shot to ensure they get the job done. Handmade of handpainted cowhide, these tough critters are sturdy enough to take on even the most unruly book collection.
