If You want to use very wide, big books in bookshelf, You have to add metal plate to the holders. Without them, the whole book shelf would be very wabble and unstable.

Step 3: Book Preparation

Book which will be the bottom of the bookshelf must be properly prepared. Add a magnet to th bottom book cover. This magnet will hold the cover while the rest of the book will lie on a metal holder. Like on the pictures above.
