So Basically

Can accommodate alot more books due to

elimination of organicallypyramidal stacks. Also,

the stackable heightincreases.

Falling action stops betweenany two modules. No domino

effect.

Minimal toppling inany direction due tolayout, locking and

effective load transfer.

Stacking orderis veryeasy to follow and design

induced, as Book=Brick

Very interestingelevation playing withAs and Vs

Modular, easy -set upand easy - removal

Books can be segregated

by type right from the

beginning due to theformation of modules
