Keep anything about Keynesian economics on bottom shelf to mitigate collapse potential

Dang. At least the books aren't damaged. ; )

Had one torn paper cover, but it was on the back, so a small price to pay.

Nooooo! 💔

That’s what I get for trying to have all my art books in the same bookcase.

Oh man….

But now I get to buy a new bookcase 😉

Love that

The plastic shelf clips bend under the weight of the books on a full long shelf; the shelf collapses; and then the bookcase lists and makes further shelf collapses even more likely. I found some metal replacements for those plastic shelf supporters, which stops that particular progression. Also it's best to keep the heaviest books on the bottom. I wish I'd bought something else, naturally.

Agreed, it’s just I have far more heavy books than bottom shelves. 🫠Looking at an L-shaped book case as a replacement with less-long shelves.

Art books be heavy!!

Hopefully this is the universe’s way to remind you of a particular book that needs to be in your hands 💜

Yes, they are! I did stop and flip through a few books I hadn’t looked at in a long time while unloading the collapsed shelves. 👍💜

“SHELF FELL.”

Inside joke from my tv production class from high school…

That it did. Twice.
