Among the fixtures now being sold at the local Borders bookstores are rolling bookshelf ladders, the kind that run along an iron rail near the top of the bookcase. I think every bibliophile has daydreamed about owning these.

A ladder I examined had a price tag of $600. Fixtures are now 75% off... so one could snag this ladder for $150. But the rail it rides on is extra. And it's the wrong color for my house. And I don't really have a space so tall it requires a rolling ladder. But still....

For comparison, here's a custom rolling-ladder cost calculator. Because long after Borders is gone, you may find yourself with enough money to build your dream library. Then you'll need this URL.
