- An engraved wooden genre plaque on a scrolled iron shelf bracket
- 19 genres to choose from, from Romance and Fantasy to Cook Books and TBR
- Slides onto the shelf — no drilling, no wall fixings
- Doubles as a bookend: the flat plate holds the section upright
You know where everything is. Nobody else does.
Sorting the shelves by genre only helps if you can see it. A small hanging sign at the start of each section turns a wall of spines into something anyone can read at a glance — and makes the whole bookcase look considered rather than crammed.
- Nothing screwed into the wall or the woodwork
- Nothing that takes a book's place in the row
- Nothing to re-label when the shelves get reshuffled — just slide it along
Which genre should you start with?
Most people begin with the section that is hardest to find in a hurry — usually Cook Books in a kitchen or TBR for the pile beside the chair. From there it is the sections you own most of: Romance, Fantasy, Mystery and Fiction are the four ordered most often.
Buying more than one? They are designed to hang in a row along the same bookcase, so a set of three or four reads as a proper little library rather than a one-off ornament.

What customers are saying
★★★★★Alison W., Scarborough
"I started with Fantasy and Mystery and now have five along the big bookcase. It looks like a little bookshop."
★★★★★Bev T., Nuneaton
"The engraving is crisp and the wood has a lovely grain. Much nicer than the printed ones I nearly bought elsewhere."
★★★★★Catherine H., Omagh
"Holds the cookery books up on the kitchen shelf and tells everyone where to put them back. Both jobs done."
Common questions
Do I need to drill anything?
No. The flat plate slides under the books on your shelf and their weight holds it in place.
Is each sign sold separately?
Yes — choose your genre above. Many customers order two or three for the same bookcase.
Does it hold books up on its own?
Yes — the vertical plate acts as a bookend for a row of average-weight books.
Will the wood match between signs?
Each plaque is cut from natural wood, so the grain and tone vary a little from one to the next. Side by side they read as a set rather than as identical copies.
What if it is not right?
