If you have a couple grand spare, why don’t you pop over to Christie’s and bag yourself a old bookshelf?
This particular bookshelf is the very one that falls on and kills Leonard Bast by Samuel West in Howard’s End.
“It was necessary for the propman to construct a heavy-looking, yet lightweight, bookcase so as not to injure the actor. However, the combined weight of books and bookcase turned out to be too great, so the bookcase was secured by wires operated by special effects men as it tumbled over in slow motion, burying but sparing West.”
