How many books in a bookcase?

Danikat · April 2019

Can anyone tell me roughly how many individual books fit in Nord Bookcase, Alcove?

I don't mean the rows of books, I mean the readable ones you can buy in sets from the Mages Guild. One of my long-term goals for my main characters' house is to have 200 books (1/2 the furnishing slots) in their library. I've chosen the nord shelves because they look like they could hold the most books (reducing the number of slots I need for them), and they suit the style of the house, but I'm trying to work out how many I'll need and since I'm putting off buying the books until I've got the rest of the slots filled it's hard to gauge.

Has anyone filled these shelves with individual books? If so how many could you fit in each bookcase?

Its not only the question how many books fit in there, its the question if you will be able to read them.
The problem with books in many shelves is that you cannot read them there, because the layer of the shelf somehow makes them unclickable, they vanish inside its space and you see them but cannot read them anymore..
I don't recall if your requested shelf belongs to those, but it could very well be one of those. So better test it before your final decision to use it.

That's good to know, thanks. I'll buy a set of books early and experiment before I go and place all of them.

Isn't there also an issue of size? I thought the individual books wouldn't fit upright on the shelves, in many cases.
