    More focal than functional

    The bookends really aren't heavy enough to securely support books, but they do hold up a few books nicely and they make for excellent decoration and conversational and pieces.

    More than one use!

    These busts were given to me by my family because I'm a world history teacher and I needed heavy bookends for my texts and reference books. But they are so detailed, I am considering using them in my Ancient Greece display, along with B&N copies of The Iliad and The Odyssey!
