A bookcase is an article of furniture, forming a shelved receptacle, usually perpendicular or horizontal, for the storage of books.
When books, being written by hand, were excessively scarce, they were kept in small coffers, which the great carried about with them on their journeys. It wa s not until the invention of printing had greatly cheapened books that it became the practice to write the title on the back and place the edges inwards. Early bookcases were usually of oak, which is still deemed to be the most appropriate wood for a stately library. However with changing times, the trend slowly shifted from wood to metals, especially Iron, Aluminium and the like.
