I had posted this pic earlier I believe, but just so you know I have never had a book fall even once!!!! Knock on wood (my washer and dryer are on the other side of the wall with the surfer guitar too so you can imagine that there is some vibration...plus with my girls playdates and all the running around we get in this home they stay up there pretty darn good!!!! Trust me when I say this, if I had even the slightest doubt that of one of my books was contemplating taking the," leap of faith!!" I would pull him off the ledge!!
Although it looks awesome I would be to scared to have them up like that. Even with the ledge, what if you get a friend throwing something at you but misses and hit the wall, what if there would be an earthquack, what if a bird flies into the house and against the wall (it happened to me), what about an angry girlfriend/wife/lifepartner....
