You want to buy a funky, unique gift for someone who's moving into his or her new digs. You want practical but not run-of-the-mill. You want something that someone will look at and say…"now that's a cool idea!"

Think about buying a Concealed Invisible Bookshelf. It's a product designed to make a personal library look like it's hanging in the air.

Guests will enter the room and stand with a quizzical look on their faces as they stare at what's before them on the wall. This gift is a great addition to an apartment or condominium because of their limited floor space. It's also an inexpensive way to 'funkifize' a room. They retail in the $10 to $13 range.

The Concealed Invisible Bookshelf operates with one hardcover book as its base. You can add any assortment of paperbacks and hardcover's to this base.

You simply screw the bookshelf into the wall (hopefully the wall stud).

Then you take the hardcover book, which will serve as the base and insert the back cover into the lip at the bottom of the bookshelf. Next, you fold over the top of the book onto the small protruding ledge of the Conceal Invisible Bookshelf. Then you start stacking any other books atop this hardcover. The hardcover serves as the strong support base for all the others.

 
The result is books floating in the air like stacks of cumulous-nimbus clouds. You can even set up a few bookshelves in an undulating pattern instead of a straight-line pattern. You can be as creative as you want to be with these invisible bookshelves. Your canvas is your wall; your creative tools are your screwdriver and bookshelf plates. The artistic result is up to you.

The Conceal Invisible Bookshelf comes in two sizes. The Standard size can handle a book depth of 8 inches and a total book weight of fifteen pounds. The Large size can handle a book depth of 10 inches and a total book weight of twenty pounds. However, if you do not screw the unit into a wall stud you should use wall anchors, drywall anchors, and the like.

The trick to giving your bookshelf the invisible look is to pile your books high enough on the unit to cover the metal apparatus screwed into the wall. This way no visible means of support are exposed and the books look like their suspended in air.

I think this would be a great gift idea for someone with a flair for the different. Again, it's an ideal gift for those with limited storage space as everything is off the floor. The floor space saved is now available for other uses.

For the friend or family member who's a reader, the Conceal Invisible Bookshelf always has their favorite books floating before there very eyes.
