There's a rush that book nerds get from expanding their collection of favorites, and they certainly like to show off their unique literary style in an equally unique manner. Check out these amazing examples that blow your standard bookshelves out of the water!

The Incredible Bookman!

Widget_cumlx1uh5drledlcnfltck

This positionable bookshelf/sculpture is about as close as you bibliophiles will ever get to doing it with your precious books.

The Book-Lined Staircase

Widget_a8pxujtghdxakhqqmw2yqu

A wonderful solution for a common book nerd problem; too many books and not enough space. Find room in here for a bed and my wife would never leave.

The Seesaw

Now all of my old smut novels can literally balance out the Dalai Lama ones I own.

REK Extending Bookshelves

Widget_bfr83ccv5fo7jlfo7yebad

In Soviet Russia, bookshelf fits to you! Oh wait, these are Dutch. Well whatever, it’s too late to hit delete now.

With a Built-In Bench

Widget_dfma9paszfcrux1qg-qrds

These shelves with a bench are the perfect way to combine two of my favorite pastimes — pretending to be cultured and sleeping.

Folding Bookshelves

Widget_ap0mb-jcnam7ae5izb2vdz

Mix the big with the small however you like; the individual slats of this creative piece simply fold up and out of the way to make room.

The Equation Bookshelf

Widget_aeu-rpf-pmzldv4xlief7m

What better storage medium for your Einstein and xkcd book collection?

Homebrew Hidden Bookcase Door

Pretty impressive for a DIY project. However, nowhere near as impressive as the massive movie geek collection he’s got hiding behind that thing. He’s a talker — you’ve been warned — but worth it to skip forward and check out all his cool shit.

DIY Inverted Bookshelf

That’s right; make your own with a regular shelf you might already have lying around the house. Head over to Instructables to learn how.

The Sexy Bookshelf

Ten bucks says that the guys from Right Said Fred have one of these on the wall opposite their bunk beds.

Hidden Bookshelf Door

Some day I’ll have one of these in my house, right next to the back wall in the study, across from my desk. On second thought, forget you read that.

The Lovely Rita

Widget_cjnfti1bronbqkjaa-1num

The Lovely Rita bookshelf works as a single shelf, or line ’em up however you want for a completely unique design.

USA! USA! USA!

Widget_ckimzbfr1c7zhobltoothj

The one downside to owning a kickass USA bookshelf is that it only accepts books from REAL Americans like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. Any nonsense from such radical thinkers as Kurt Vonnegut or Hunter S. Thompson will automatically burst into flames, unless of course you shelve them in a hippie state such as California.

The Spell Shelf

Widget_cyuz9laxlap6djdvbndsox

It’s a shelf that spells out the word “shelf.” Who says you can’t make any money with a direct approach in the world of design?

The Wallcase

Widget_ch8q4zsurhh7tnc8i_iaz4

Isn’t an entire wall of books every book nerd’s biggest fantasy?

The Disappearing Bookshelf

Widget_aejdrnawheoyscrtvuxztj

The Sticklebook

Widget_bbizwmlwpiwkgm_1msviwq

This invisible shelving system uses little grip strips to give the appearance that your books are hanging mid-air. Very cool, and sure to make your guests do a double-take.

Ceiling Bookshelf

Widget_cjzqmfburcso1hhadtazgr

A great homemade shelving system, and wonderfully functional for tall people such as myself.

Convertible Bookshelves/Bed

Widget_dnbvvpcztaq4m_ndd2fihl

The decorative pieces around this bookcase pull down and form a mattress for you or your guests, and assemble back together and out of your way without being an eyesore.

The Pulse

Widget_d58g1pljdbybwhgnxo4wzu

This cool bookshelf has much more life in it than your standard “flatlined” one.

And that folks, is how you ruin a good product with bad copy.

The Autum

Widget_a9tcz6u7xjzjvoagp_smvt

The [sic] autum bookshelf is meant to resemble a leafless tree, and while there’s no doubt as to it being a fine piece of design, all I see is a map of the human nervous system.

These guys don’t actually sell any books here, but word is they have a pretty decent website.
