This is a very unusual, modern and very stylish floating bookshelf called "Sticklebook" made in the U.K. Here's a video from YouTube that shows how it works:  https://youtu.be/15-biasvlFk

You mount the sleek aluminum rail on the wall and then you "stick" books into the comb-like feature which allows you to organize and hang books horizontally as if they are floating in midair. The first two pics are stock photos that show you what Sticklebook looks like in action. The rest of the pics are the item you are actually bidding on which is new in the box and has never been used. It includes simple mounting hardware and instructions (see the last few pics).

This item was made in the U.K. but is now long out of production and impossible to find. I found two (2) brand new ones in my storage unit and you are bidding on one here but you can also use the "buy it now" option to buy both if you choose. A super-cool bookshelf solution especially in small urban apartments where space is at a premium. Try Googling "Sticklebook" for more pics of it being used in creative and interesting ways to hang your book collection horizontally from a wall.

See the pics that show the approximate length of the bookshelf is 28"

This item will be shipped in its original mailing tube via Priority Mail at cost. 

Unfortunately I do not accept returns unless the item does not comply with the description in which case I'm happy to take it back. I'm trying to get rid of stuff, not hold into it.
