Earthquake-proof, book-filled home is a bookworm’s dream

This wall-to-wall bookshelf has an additional neat trick — it’s made to withstand earthquakes.

The clever design from Japanese architects Shinsuke Fujii features a home with ample — and we mean ample — shelf space, covering one wall of the house.

But to keep its contents from falling off in the event of an earthquake, the shelf leans inwards at a slant.

Best of all, the lean means you won’t even need a ladder to reach its top. Simply climb it and stand on each rack to get what you need.
