They began to make their appearance only well after the Renaissance, when the number of books being printed increased. Around this time, as a safety matter, books started being stacked vertically. Bookends are usually placed at the left and right sides of vertically stacked books, usually when those books are not in use. Books should be stacked vertically because book covers deform if placed horizontally. Some people expect bookends to hold books back as a dam does water. Make sure the bookends you select will balance and hold the books where you want them. When arranging your books, make sure you arrange them so they are next to each other just tightly enough to keep them upright, but not so tight as to invite damage when you remove them. Make sure they are not leaning in anyway or eventually the books will become deformed. Some may view bookends as a luxury. After all, you could use just heavy rocks to hold up your books. But bookends keep shelves looking neat and they serve a decorative purpose. Most people cherish their books not only for what lies between the covers but also for their keepsake value, and nice bookends add to the visual display. Bookends often reflect the style of the times they originated. Some are collectible. Some are pieces of art. In any case, they are a necessary and practical part of any home or office.
