.....sticklebook book shelves

the books are held in place by an ingenious combed strip and extrusion that grips the pages and cover of the books.
books are easily tapped onto the comb teeth and are gripped securely.
a line of books appear to hang on the wall. Sticklebook is intended for use with paperbacks which have been read
and transposes the familiar sight of the tower of paperbacks onto the wall.

magically, the intensity of the light increases as the lamp is raised towards the ceiling illuminating the spherical shade.
