ABSTRACT:
A bookend for use on a metal shelf is formed by bending from a single sheet of metal to form an upstanding plate and flat tongue so that the tongue can lie on the metal shelf with the plate upstanding. The tongue includes an extension portion extending to the opposed side of the plate relative to the main part of the tongue with an upstanding handle on the end of the extension portion. The underside of the tongue carries a layer of resilient felt surrounding an elongate central magnetic strip which extends substantially along the full length of the tongue. The magnetic is sufficient to provide additional friction between the bookend and the shelf to prevent toppling under the weight of the book.
