The Thousands

The bookshelf is a prized pantry of carefully selected manuscripts, fine films, musical specimens, exotic publications and zine-like hooha. Keeping all this in check is the bookstop (also known as the ‘book end’), a variable specimen available in many homemade forms: a brick, globe, old boot, mug.

**For those endeavoring to escalate bookshelf aesthetics, here’s a stop for your personal bookshop (that speaks less Dickens more derby). The Roller Stop from Harry Allen’s Reality Collection is a symbol of movement frozen in time. Not only will it keep all finery in place, but will also eliminate door slamming should it find a home on the floor.
