ABSTRACT:
Book case composed of a combination of a number of rigid flat surfaces of any material of sufficient strength to support the weight of books resting thereon that are either horizontal front to back or canted front to back, but are arranged at random angles longitudinally from horizontal to vertical and of random lengths, the longitudinal axes of said shelves being either parallel to the rear plane of the book case or at an angle away from that plane. The surfaces of such shelves extending away from the rear plane of the book case can be at angles going up, down, or horizontal. Sections of said book case can have the four sides, two ends, top and bottom, of greater depth than the majority of the shelves. By using one or more shelf variations as just described, unlimited designs are possible to store books of different sizes, as well as pictures, nick nacks, trophies, etc. and in so doing create art forms in three dimensions. Some sections can be duplicated, some angles can be duplicated, with the rigid, flat, non-horizontal surfaces providing inclined surfaces that enable gravity to keep the books properly stacked and the book covers protected by the weight of the book(s) adjacent to it. The distance between shelves and the length of the shelves can be varied to accommodate different size books and different quantities of books in any section. The use of shelves that protrude from the front plane of the book case provides additional book case storage space within the same wall space. The shelves of greater depth accommodate books of greater width.
