You Need More Bookcases? Here's A Shopping Guide
There are few passions as rewarding and worthwhile as reading, but even the best things have their bad sides. With public libraries and the dawn of brands like Barnes and Noble, Amazon, IndieBound, and the like, it's now easier than ever to get basically all of the books, comics, graphic novels, and manga you like. That, of course, means buying cute bookcases to add style and organization to your space.
There's, of course, nothing wrong with having lots of books. There are worse things one could spend their money on than books. But when you have all those books, storage becomes a problem. When you have a few you can just stack them up where you have space, but when you have piles of books, it's not too cute to leave them all over the place. Like any infomercial, you're doomed to knock them all over and make a huge mess and feel completely flustered and helpless.
That's where the magic of bookcases come in. I'm sure you've heard of them before and have probably even seen or touched a few in your lifetime. If you love or even just like books, you're probably going to have to invest in a bookcase at some point or just continue to haphazardly store and place your books wherever. Maybe, just maybe, that time is now.
