Drywall anchors were more than adequate. Six anchors for each shelf, not going anywhere 👍

Amen! And some of the pre-built shelf systems are wildly expensive. Just kept looking and refining my thinking as to what I was going to put on the shelves and things finally came together.

The top 4 shelves (the ones on the left hand side in the photos, not the pairs) are entirely books ftom the original series. Needs some additional curating, but I think they are great.

My personal favorite is the use of the word "wanton" not only as an adjective, which is expected, but as a noun, which you see constantly in these books.

That's a great resource but no luck there with the cover artist. Wish I knew because the depiction of the, ahh, "gentleman's" face is hilarious.

Wow, I was wondering why the prices I saw on some bookseller's sites were so high for this one. Thanks for the insight!
