Where's the set of books that act as a switch to open up a secret room?

I was on the site to buy regular books and I saw this along the side as a link.

I know people who buy classic, leather bound books so that they can use it for decoration. Personally, I think its phony and stupid. Why pretend youre smart?
I have one shelf of books that I have already finished and another shelf of books that I haven't gotten around to finish. Thats my set-up

Not to be an ass, but did you spell ILLITERATE wrong on purpose ?
Don't you love it when people say "Not to be an ass..."
You know the next sentence is going to be some remark some asshole would make!

Yikes, did you see those prices. At that price you might as well read them too.

$50 per foot for contemporary fiction? I could do it from garage sales for about 50 cents/ foot.
So if anyone needs some books for their library, PM me. I'll only charge you $25 per foot of wood pulp.

Leather bound books do look nice, but Ill stick with paperbacks and the occasional hardcover.

I've found that people also tend to preface the most racist statements with "I'm not a racist, but..."

One of my parents' neighbors had an office room that they wanted to decorate as a library, kind of. But it was kind of small.
So she made a "fake bookshelf" by taking all the binding of books like that and cutting away the pages and covers. Then she glued them to the wall in a row above a piece of molding that looked like a shelf.
The end result was really cool, though not as good as a real library. And she did it for really cheap with books at a garage sale or something. Next house I buy will have a big room for a library where I can keep all my books; they're all over right now.
