Very cool idea... I may have to thieve this and mod it to work with books. I know, very Bruce Wayne, but why not?

yeah books would be cool too, I just felt bad ruining books, you'd have to get a set too, they all should be the same height.

just get some water damaged books or the 'throwaways' for some place like halfprice books. they get rid of a lot of books that are unreadable/saleable everyday.

Some of the major booksellers have blank books in hardback of all sizes i've gotten a few from borders books they have all sizes and colors that way you wouldn't have to ruin anything litteral ....

Here is what you do...

Go to Walmart
Find $3-$5 movie bin
Buy the most boring named movies

Instant "No one wants to watch these movies" cabinet cover! ;)

Just use so bad movies as cover that no one will want to touch them.

Question: step 10, pic #5, I see an AC duplex outlet on the top center of the door with plug going into what I suppose is another DVD cover display. Wahzzup? Your idea is terrific and I intend to adapt it into a bookshelf. El Viejo

I think it's a coat hook... but I first thought it was an AC outlet

Awesome idea! (oh, and I'm watching the colbert report right now too!)

Seems like a lot of work! Since DVDs are popular and someone just might want to try and steal these, how about making a box out of VHS tape boxes, instead! No one wants those anymore at all! Cool idea, though --
