Arrow bookends

These cool mid-century arrow bookends just sold on eBay for $75. What a deal! They're brass and blackened steel. I love the design.

I bow to your collective punnery.

Living in earthquake-prone L.A. I prefer to hammer actual large metal arrows through each shelf of books. I can see where this would be more convenient, though.

Or just shoot an arrow through a bunch of Scientology propaganda for the price of a compound bow and a broadhead. Please don’t sue me Tom Cruise, Isaac Hayes, or Nancy Cartwright. Were any of you ever one of Elron’s hotpants clad cigarette girls?

Someone should start producing these, they’d really have a shot at fame.
