I have seen some of these around and they look great. The idea is simple enough, use a book as a shelf but so you can't see any shelf brackets. Magic!
The first step was to get hold of a decent book and really you want to use a hardback book to keep some of the structure.
Next was to work out where to place the brackets and then cut the pages of the book to fit them in.
Once positioned I then had to cut some notches for the brackets in the cover of the book and then screw
it all together. If you use something like plasterboard screws which I did then they will bite in quite nicely and also don't need any drilling into the book for a pilot hole.
Once brackets are attached to the book it's a case of mounting it to the wall. Ideally you will want to mount to something fairly solid. Unfortunately I had to secure mine to an old wood latt and plaster wall which is not ideal but you can get around it by using more screws to spread the load.
This is my first attempt at this and I think I will refine it abit as I would like the brackets to be abit smaller but the basics are there so unless you have a fear of drilling holes then have a go at it and see what you can come up with.
Catch you soon. Rob
