Bookshelf #15:
Finlay
Burley-in-Wharfedale, United Kingdom

Attached is a photo of one of my little boy’s bookcases. Finlay loves books. I originally had his books stored in a traditional bookcase but found he pulled them all out on the floor looking for the ‘perfect’ book. Having seen the big book bunkers at children’s libraries I realised that toddlers select books to read by looking at their covers, so I went to the supermarket and picked up a banana crate and stored his books, forward-facing, in there. I realised there was a gap in the market for an actual product that fulfilled that function, so I researched, developed and last month launched a product – bigbooklittlebookcardboardbox – which is available for sale in the UK at www.bigbooklittlebookcardboardbox.co.uk
