Readers will say that there is no such thing as too many books, only too few bookcases. You can help solve this problem with oak bookcases with glass doors. Books are heavy, so the sturdy supportive power of oak can help your bookcases last a good long while. The glass doors not only keep off dust but also protect your precious volumes from curious fingers or pets who are firmly convinced that shelves are for them – not for books. While Charles Wysocki’s bookshelf cats – “Frederick the Literate,” “Remington Well-Read,” and “Max in the Stacks” are charming beyond words, a real cat in your books can be devastating. Glass doors are a wonderful solution.
