If you are going to fall for a novel bookend at least make it humorous. And this one certainly floats to the top of all the choices on the interwebs and would be a great gift for book lovers.
It’s aptly called “The End” and features a little bookworm about to get squashed by the tilting titles. It’s just under 4.5″ tall so don’t expect to hold too many books with this (or even one big book). But it will certainly be a great talking piece as friends peruse you shelves.
The price is all over the place, but averages around $15 as it’s listed here on the Mental Floss site.
Do chime in if you have found any clever bookends that top this one!

Hugh, over at BookOven just posted a pic of one his (neatly lines with bookends on every shelf) bookshelves and asked folks to share their own. I’m home with our 5-month-old this morning, so was able to turn around and snap this. I don’t get to play along much! I didn’t realize how crowded my shelves were until I uploaded the pic.
Cinder blocks and 2×4’s, anyone?

I know, I know- this isn’t the most efficient use of space and I’m sure if a book were wide enough it would slant the spine. But I can not find the words to express how bad I want one of these…
