Look for less: Vertical Stacked Bookcases
A while ago we all fell in love with Erin's bookcases:
Now Erin's were from DWR and still available for $198-$298.
CB2 has a version for $189:
West Elm also joined in on the fun and has their own version in wood on sale now for $149:
I think that if you know what wall you want your books to reside on I would go with this option:
It’s $9.99 for a small and $12.99 for a large.
You simply place the silver shelf in your back cover:
And then just stack away. Each shelve holds up to 20 lbs.
I would do a couple vertically up a wall and voila you get the same look for much less!

That would make a crazy adorable nightstand for a bedroom cramped on space. Great find!
I have always loved these bookcases. I was actually thinking that I might make my own and mount it right onto the wall. I would have to wait until I moved out of my rental though...
this looks awesome!! i have always loved this look!!
I have the shorter DWR one, and I love it! My husband, then boyfriend, gave it to me years ago for a present. and it gets so many compliments when guests visit. In my first NYC apartment I had it in my entry way, and it became an instant conversation piece as guests would scan my titles as they entered/exited and would ask how I liked various books.
I've seen this a while back on ikeahacker.com
$39.00 for 2... cant beat that

I have one of the CB2 shelves in my office and while I love the look of it, it's SO not practical with a little one walking around. He just loves to pull the books out. Wish I would've thought of that before I bought it. Oh well, it looks cool and that's all that really matters, right. : b
Oh, I am totally going to do this! My husband and I have so many books, we make Barnes & Noble look empty! What a fabulous idea- thanks for the inspiration.
I LOVE spine book cases!
The vertical bookcase has been on my wish list for like for ever, one of my favorites looks! Love your look for less! Now I just wish I could make that kind of holes on our rented apartment...
What a great option! I love this look.

I've seen these before and I totally love them. Great idea!
Great options, especially the vertical ones
Love it!! Such a clean yet eclectic look.
Love all it. And you can't beat that price! I just awarded you a Happy 101 Award (my latest post). I'm sure you've received 1000's of these already. But you are certainly one of my top 10. :-)
LOVE this!! great way to display books beautifully! And the idea in first comment by Amy is GENIUS! Thanks for sharing!
Correction, sorry Liz said that :)
I've loved those bookcases for a while. Thanks for the information on them!
