TARDIS and Tentacle Monster Bookends Are a Doctor Who Double Feature

Posted on by

This set of  bookends takes me back to the classic era of Doctor Who. I mean, there is a large tentacle monster, the TARDIS, a bunch of pipes and some barrels, all in a creepy castle-like room. This is like having an instant adventure on your shelf, holding up your collection of Doctor Who books.

There is good news and bad news regarding these bookends however. The bad news is that awesome as they are, these particular handmade bookends have been sold, but the good news is that its creator - Theophilus Saxe’s Emporium will make pretty much anything you want so if you ask, they could probably make another one for you.

Kraken Bookends Aren’t Recommended for Seafarers

Posted on by

I know the chances of a giant monster actually living at the bottom of the ocean are pretty slim, but the ocean is a very deep, and why tempt fate? The Kraken is probably one of the worst mythical sea monsters out there – reaching up to crush ships with its disgusting slimy tentacles.

If you have a penchant for mythical beasts and bizarre bookends, these Kraken bookends are just for you. Just be sure you’re not living on a boat.

You can purchase a these off Etsy where an artist by the name of Dellamorteco sculpted the shipwreck by hand, then cast it from resin and painted on a bronze finish. The result is incredibly realistic and lifelike and must’ve taken a very long time to make. You have to check out some of the close-up images to get an idea of how detailed these bookends really are.

Priced at $250(USD), the limited-edition bookends aren’t exactly cheap, but considering it’s an handmade piece of art, the price isn’t too bad. There are more than a few people out there who would love to have a pair these sitting on their pirate-themed libraries.

Star Wars Imperial Seal Bookends: Knowledge is Power. UNLIMITED POWER

Posted on by

These Imperial Seal bookends are definitely the simplest Star Wars-themed bookends we’ve featured so far, but no self-respecting Emperor is going to be caught using AT-AT bookends. In fact, I don’t think the Emperor needs bookends at all. He’ll just Force Lightning any book that dares to move even an smidge out of alignment.

You can pre-order the bookends from Amazon, Entertainment Earth or straight from collectible maker Gentle Giant for $70 (USD).

Han Shot First Bookends

It’s a fact that Han Solo shot first- undisputed and unquestionable. It’s also a fact that books aren’t going to stand up by themselves without something to hold them up. Combine the two and you’ve got the Han Shot First Bookends. Best info I can find on these bookends is that they are called the Star Wars: Mos Eisley Cantina Bookends Han Shot First Bookends, were produced in very limited quantities, sold out, and all three of the world’s Greedo fans desperately want to get their hands on this.

Katana Bookends Help You Slice Through Reading Material in Seconds

Posted on by

While I still have years worth of old paper books lying around my house, I have to be honest and say that I don’t read much in the way of physical books anymore. Other than the occasional graphic novel or comic book, I prefer to read on my iPad these days. That said, I have a few very special books that are deserving of a proud place on top of the bookshelf, and I’ve finally found the best way to show them off.

Yep. Katana Bookends, folks. Shut up and take my money already.  They’re coming this March from UK design shop Mustard for about $30(USD) and they’re perfect for displaying your favorite martial arts instructional books, or in my case, issues of The Walking Dead – specifically those with Michonne in them.

While I’d like to think they pulled off the visual trickery of the blade slicing through the books using massive neodymium magnets, it looks to me more like the old Steve Martin arrow-through-the-head gag, but with books instead of a head in the middle. Regardless of how they’re made, they’re still Katana Bookends, so what’s not to like?

Tentacle Attack Bookends Perfect for H.P. Lovecraft Books

Posted on by

I have a recurring nightmare about being attacked by some sort of creature with too many legs. I’m not sure if it’s from playing too many FPSes, or from reading about Cthulhu. Heck, maybe it’s from visiting the aquarium. Who knows. But if you’re not afraid to have some tentacles hanging around your bookshelf, then you’ll definitely want to check out these bookends.

tentacle bookends

They’re made by Knob Creek Metal Arts, and feature a cutout of a woman being abducted by some sort of creepy tentacled beast – I’m going with a Kraken, but it definitely could be Cthulhu, or just some sort of giant octopus. Or maybe a septapus. Maybe it’s just Squiddly Diddly.

Each pair of Tentacle Attack bookends is handmade from steel, and sells for $43(USD). Grab a pair now, before the tentacles grab you instead.
