Any recommendations for a Seattle-area carpenter or company to do the work? Also, can you identify a furniture style for me (links inside) so I can describe the shelves I want? Here are some shelves I like:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happymonkey/10022614/">shelf 1</a><br> <a href="http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/020108_salonoblique/DSC_0155/medium">shelf 2</a><br> <br> Mine would be floor-to-ceiling and go around a corner, but I like the general look of these -- especially shelf 2. Simple, sturdy, like you'd find in a school library in the 1960s. Does this style have a name? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.83043 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 08:51:00 -0800 bookcase bookcases bookshelves carpentry seattle shelving The corpse in the library http://ask.metafilter.com/4779/Seeking%2Dinexpensive%2Dbookshelves%2Ddesigned%2Dfor%2Dpaperbacks I've been looking for some tall paperback-depth bookshelves that aren't real expensive. Normal bookshelf units are way too deep. <a href="http://www.multimediashelves.com/book-m-9-24.html">These are nice</a> but only 5 feet tall and kind of pricey. I'd like to utilize more vertical space against my wall. Seen anything that fits the bill? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.4779 Tue, 20 Jan 2004 15:01:14 -0800 bookcases bookshelves Tubes
