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.
LaPierre Barrister Bookcase
Preserve the space in your room with uplifting doors. No need to plan side space for doors that swing out and away from the shelf, nor any need to keep grooves for sliding doors clean. This beautiful LaPierre Barrister Bookcase can keep your collector books safe from dust, sticky fingers and pets. It can also be an ideal place to display fragile breakables, alongside beautiful books.
Reference Library
Keep your reference materials together in one place in this sturdy oak veneer glass-fronted bookcase. There are four sturdy shelves for books and two file drawers for magazines, clippings and other important files. The doors swing out but are located above the file drawers for your convenience. Place this bookcase near your desk for a quick fix for research woes. While you can find reliable information on the Internet, if you know how to look, not every bit of information researched by humankind is out there on the World Wide Web. There is still merit in owning reference books and keeping files of interesting bits of information.
Latham Standard bookcase
If you are hard pressed to find space for another bookcase, this slim Latham Standard bookcase can help. Narrow and tall, but self-supporting, it can slip in between other bookcases or tuck into a niche that won’t accommodate a wider bookcase. Great for heavier tomes, because of the narrow shelves, it has pegs for adjustable shelf width. So, whether you are protecting legal or medical texts or a set of vintage fairy tale books, this could be your next bookcase.
Laughlin Standard Bookcase
Resembling an old-fashioned wardrobe, the Laughlin Standard Bookcase, is available in either oak or poplar. It has two sections – a large upper section with adjustable shelves, and a smaller lower section. This could easily be a place to store books for Big People in the top and for Little People in the bottom.
Sturdy, glass-fronted bookcases are the perfect way for bibliophiles to protect their collections. With that said, these sturdy cabinets can also be used to display fine dinnerware, artwork, or even protect your fine needlework. The glass fronts allow visibility, the sturdy wood shelves resist bowing, and your valued items are kept reasonably free from dust, sticky fingers, and pets.
