Books never stay upright on their own. Half a shelf leans over the moment you pull one out, and most bookends are ugly enough that you notice them before you notice the books.

This pair does the job without looking like hardware. The curve reads as a wave from the front and changes shape as you move past it, so it works as much as a shelf object as it does as a support.

Use them at either end of a run of books, in the middle to break a shelf into sections, or on a desk to keep the few things you actually reach for from sliding around.

They also hold up records, magazines, cookbooks and anything else that refuses to stand straight.

Each set is printed to order, so tiny variations in the finish are normal and come with the process rather than being flaws.
