this would be my suggestion of how to do it. Some years ago I wanted to do a trompe l'oeil effect at the end of a bookcase, because we are real book lovers/collectors my husband was not too eager to help, but we have a wonderful resource of free books, so I collected some that were so out of date and not great books to begin with. My husband cut the spine of these books off from the book proper and I simply glued them on with Elmers to the side of the book shelf so it would look confusing to a viewer! He used a table saw to do this and it wasn't much work. It wasn't much work either to glue them on the book case. Decide what kind of a table you want and maybe post a picture of that. I chose books with kind of humorous titles and the heights are staggered.

You can drill holes through the books and get a lamp kit at one of the home improvement stores. It would look great. They even sell longer center rods for the taller lamps
