Shelves or a piece of furniture designed for storing and displaying books.
Compound word from 'book' (Old English 'boc,' originally a beech tree whose wood was used for tablets) plus 'shelf' (from Middle Low German 'schelf'). The compound is straightforward: a shelf for books.
Bookshelves reveal personality in a way that's almost anthropological—how people arrange books (by color, subject, author, or haphazardly) tells you things about how their mind works. They've also become symbols of intelligence and wealth throughout history.
