We first saw an unpainted prototype of these Star Wars lightsaber bookends back in July. At the time, the ETA for shipping was September, but it appears that it took a little longer than expected to bring this complex piece of book holding technology to market.
Somebody obviously had enough experience with those conventional crap bookends to realize that in order to keep books standing at a 90 degree angle, you need to employ iron and steel in the form of a vise. That will teach those f’ers not to slant.

eReaders may be convenient, but that means no more karate bookends or crazy bookmarks. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live in a world where these magnificent products are no longer needed.

Someone is obviously really pissed at books. Whether the culprit is from the side of good or evil, it wouldn’t take a whole lot of effort for them to slide a lightsaber through the stack of books. On the plus side, it will keep all those books standing up nice and straight. The final version is not complete, but the unpainted prototype above gives you a good idea of what is in store for this set of Lightsaber Bookends.

Remember when David Copperfield (illusionist, entertainer, douche) “walked through” the Great Wall of China? These bookends are kind of like that, except the “Great Wall” can be a copy of War and Peace.

The date was October 23rd, 1929. The tape on these stock market ticker bookends reads: Eastman Kodak (EK) at $218 1/8 and RCA at $68. The next day (Black Thursday) the stock market began a slide that would lead to the Great Depression. Saaaaayyy… October 24th is only a couple of weeks away—and Wall Street is currently spiraling out of control. Hahaha…ominous. Also available in business card, 6 and 13 inch versions.

If you loved Voltron as a kid, these Lion Force bookends would make a great addition to your library—no matter what perverse things you decide to stick between them.

Jay and Silent Bob Bookends are like a Matthew McConaughey line of bath gels and soaps. It just doesn’t make sense.
