The book rack here illustrated will hold sixteen books. All the wood is i in. thick, except the divisions, which are; in., and the centre division carrying the numbers, which is 1 in. thick. In front should be a printed slip taken from the book list; it may be pasted on and can be renewed as alterations take place. The ornamental coping is planted on, and can be made to any design. The space allowed between the divisions, which is, of course, the space taken up by each book, is only 1/8 in., but, if the collector has two books, the space is made 1/4 in. wide, with a corresponding increase in the size of the case. The ornamental coping may be 3/5 in. broad and Jin. thick, either rounded or bevelled. The divisions can either be fixed in by half-checking (in which case the sides should be fin. thick), or, easier, by gluing strips between the divisions as the case is put together.
