At first I worried that I would knock them over daily, but then I noticed that if you look closely the books are actually supported by a rather cleverly hidden bookshelf. <br />This also means you don't have to unpile a million books to get to the one at the bottom.<br />While Alaina got hers at West Elm, The Everygirl sourced similar shelves from <a href="http://www.cb2.com/array-silver-bookcase/s383171?a=501&device=c&network=g&matchtype=&gclid=CjgKEAjwwPabBRCXo46OtM_RhGMSJACgCeqAvn5rpk7qn8QlACSQM-CFlQrXIAN1Zs4xjRBdHkuTmfD_BwE" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">CB2</span></a> and <a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/sapien-bookcase-short.do?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=EbayEnterprise&source=pjn&subid=73861" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Design Within Reach</span></a>!
