Question

Something rather simple

KMS Woodworks · Answer

Something squarish and heavy will do the trick...On one of our book shelves in our living room we have very cool looking chunk of White Quartz.

Z · Answer

Pretty 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.
