Book bookshelf

Instead of trashing books for recycling, what about reusing them for another purpose, Not tom designers found a simple creative way. I don't know if they used a long metallic stem going accross all the books and stopping in the middle of the first and last book, but it certainly doable at home.

It reminds me of this old Ikea ad I already showed you few months ago :
