Other uses for books:
Safety deposit box -- handy for losing bills, envelopes and letters when you forget which book out of the 500 you stashed it in.
Compression weight -- pile 8 or so books upon something you're gluing together when you don't want to sit for an hour and apply pressure yourself.
Pot deseeder/joint rolling tray -- for when you have no double album cover laying about. Sorry for the 1970's drug reference.
Glass coaster -- for when the $1000 coffee table matters more than the $10 paperback.
