1Despite the belief that e-books and audiobooks are taking over, print books are still being read.
According to the Pew Research Center, 67 percent of Americans read a print book in 2017, making it the most popular format. So, if you’re one of those who still enjoy holding a book in your hands and you love owning your own copy, where do you store them? Pay attention because if you’re into DIY projects, this one is for you.
When Jessica and Sinclair Breen finished building their home in Australia, Jessica came across an image of a fascinating bookshelf. “When I showed Sinclair he almost had a heart attack,’ Jessica told FEMAIL in 2017. “We knew we had to try it.”
It looked complicated, but Jessica and Sinclair were prepared to tackle the project. They shared their plans with a graphic arts teacher, who “magically” gave them the dimensions for all of the panels they needed.
It took weeks of planning and an estimated $900 AUD.
