Industrial Novel Stands

No Two Hand-Forged Vice Grip Bookends are Alike

The Vice Grip Bookends will keep quite the hold on people's precious novels. Considering that the era of the printed word may soon come to an end if the eBook industry has any say in the matter, this stand could help thwart the takeover. Of course, they also accentuate how antiquated books are becoming. The industrial appeal of the Vice Grip Bookends heightens the vintage look of the books themselves.

Hand-forged out of cast metal, the Vice Grip Bookends has a rustic finish that many will appreciate. In fact, no two are exactly alike, which gives them an authentic aesthetic that elevates their worth. Available online at the Neatoshop, these two hefty stands go for $79.95. They are perfect for just about any set of books from paperbacks to hardcover encyclopedias.
