Z on Aug 15, 2013Pretty much anything with a little weight and a piece of non-stick drawer liner glued to the bottom will work as book ends. Or even simpler, use other books stacked and laid on their backs. Vintage cameras bought at a thrift store. A good sized rock, brick or branch. Vintage toy vehicles, though you'll need a stop for the wheels. Make an "L" out of two pieces of scrap wood (one bys probably work the best) and set anything your heart desires on them.Helpful Reply
