@ANoel: the picture from underneath on thinkgeek is just illustrative. You put the cover of the bottom book underneath that bracket, and clip it in place, so from the bottom you see no support either.

just drill a hole in a book, attach a l bracket and then screw it into your wall. the other books on top should hide the bracket and you will have saved about 10 bucks.

what a way to ruin your books.

@werk: See what I just posted? Invisible LOLCat!

...otherwise known as a really small shelf, like, smaller than your books even. who the hell was so bothered by seeing shelves? and im pretty sure the novelty wears off faster than that of ball-in-a-cup-on-a-string.

It only looks coo if it's below eyesight enough that my
cat could jump up on it.
Then what?

ANoel

This will go well with my invisible bike, invisible sandwich, invisible lawnmower, invisible accordion, and invisible dining chair.

My cats will love it.

I'm selling an invisible pet rock if anyone is interested

At first glance looking at that pic, I was like, OMG! Those books are floating on some sort of invisible bookshelf, OMG! Then I saw the headline, LOL!

@fussball:
Hey Man, thanks for putting that into perspective for me!

ANoel

Wow, looks strikingly similar to the invisible towel rack.

TVGenius

my bookshelf is actually even more invisible.

mine is located at the apex of where the wall and floor meet.....

...and ..ahem ...there is no shelf.

they just stand on the floor (like everything else)

pretty cheap at zero dollars.

@ANoel: then you'd have a floating cat ;)

Great Odin's raven! This is the shelf for me. I'm very important! I have many invisible leather-bound books - this shelf will go great with them.

SeventhExile

If you or your friends can't read french this is a nice alternative. Pity it's almost twice as expensive.

BoardStupid

Couldn't you make a sturdier "invisible" book shelf by converting an unwanted but thick book into the shelf itself? Then it'd be invisible even to people who are sitting down and looking up. I'm thinking I saw this on instructables or some such site.

BStu

ah i can hang this on the wall next to my invisible 60 inch plasma

I have half a dozen of these on my wall right now. Good design for a minimalist kind of aesthetic, but they tend to bend under large or heavy books. If that happens the bottom cover tends to fall out. Works great for your many leather-bound books that smell of rich mahogany, though.

The bottom book covers the bottom bracket; you can't see anything from below.

Yeah this was posted almost a year ago on instructables:

I agree, make one yourself for about $3 from any hardware store. The guy that thought of the idea should sue thinkgeek for stealing his idea!

@djdare: lol, love the comment.
