The usual way to store your collection of paperbacks and hardcovers is to arrange them neatly within a bookcase, but the By The Book system is so much more fun. The creation of this whimsical fixture involved more imagination that your typical storage system; therefore, in spirit, it has more in common with the literature that it holds.
Kiril Gitman's playful product comprises a panel that you fasten to the ceiling. From slits in the material, wires suspend and you can move them about according to your preference. Each of the wires has one or several metal stoppers attached that support the base of each hanging novel. To arrange your little library, part the pages of your book and close them around a cord with a clamp beneath. The By The Book system can even double as a bookmarker.
