Or, read more, if you're that way inclined...


Actually, one of my other hobbies is stonemasonry (though still at a very amateur level!), and as all these bloody GW books are so heavy, I needed a suitably heavy bookend to stop them all falling over. 

It's actually made from a piece of mediaeval stonework that I dug out of my garden (along with a couple more tons of carved stone!), shaped and carved with the Eye of Horus, then I've stuck some red felt to the sides so it doesn't damage the books or the shelf. The colour of the carved bit will look more like the rest of the stone as it dries out and ages. 

Anyway, here's a couple more pics...
