Comments about JAMES THE BOOKEND:

I gave this to a friend whose books on her desk were always falling all over the place. With the new bookend, her desk is now a lot neater, and it also adds a sense of fun to her workstation.\nThe only gripe I have is that the product seems to me to be a little overpriced.
