      I'm making a book case for a Talmudic scholar and in order to enhance the model I made this component. It looks pretty good on the Mahagony shelves. At first I used the book component in the Architecture component library but it didn't have the right feel so I made this one.
      Hope you like it and/or can use it.

            Those look great, I saw a sliding ladder someplace that would work well with a few of those stacked bookshelves.

              I put the bookcase itself up on the warehouse if anyone needs it.
              I should probably put the books component there too, right?

                  Here is a Half-French binding I once modelled. It's a bit high-poly, not suitable for building a library

                    Nice one Anssi.
                    What I was trying for with my component was to have a few books all together, like a set of encyclopedias.

                    If you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.

                      I thought I'd go ahead and make some more versions of the books component so that a library would look more interesting.

                              My grandmother used to say:
                              "You can tell a lot about a person by how many books he has". πŸ˜„
                              So now you can all make my grandmother very happy πŸ˜†

                              All the best.
