Shelving books drives me crazy in this game. Eventually I end up just lying them down flat.

I miss the auto-shelving that Skyrim had (even though the books would sometimes fall over)... but I know that would require reprogramming of every bookshelf furnishing so I don't expect a change.

I haven't found any and I think I've checked all of them. The best I've found is the Nord Bookcase, Alcove which is big enough for most books (and can hold quite a few) but it's still too short for the tallest ones, like the Ancient Scrolls of the Dwemer.

I thought the Telvanni did, but it's been a while since I used it. Can't remember for sure.

The few books I bought thinking they could be meaningfully and easily displayed are all floating in the air in a junk warehouse home gathering pixel dust.

When I decided I was finished decorating my main house I then dumped 200 books into it and started sorting them out. The same weekend I needed to sort out my real book shelves, which have about 400 books on them. I got the real ones done in a weekend and the virtual ones took me weeks, several hours spread across multiple evenings because just trying to sort them by subject and get them into alphabetical order was complicated and then actually putting them on the shelves took a lot of careful tweaking and replacing the shelves with ones which would actually fit the books. When I started I'd naively assumed any bookcase would be big enough to fit books in, but it turns out some have shelves less than half the height of most books.

I still wanted to use the individual books rather than the rows of fake ones because I like the idea being able to read them (I specifically chose books my characters would be interested in) but it's a pain to get them sorted out.

We should just be able to 'feed' the readable books into a bookshelf, so when you click the bookshelf you see a list of books and can then choose which one to read. Or something like that. It would also help with the item limit. At the moment, if you want to have a home with a library you basically have to get a house just for the library.

I put some books into the big Alinor bookshelf (writ vouchers) that already has books, and a greenish Khajiit bookcase I crafted with and without pre planted books. I put two Alinor bookcases together back to back to make a double sided bookshelf like you would find in Library stacks. The newer bookcases usually work better than the original furnishing bookcases.

Try "Alinor Bookshelf, Polished".

There are bound furnishing recipes you buy from Atraeum NPC trader as you progress the Psijic Guild story,
they include floating books which fit some of shelves and bookcases.
The books crafted are also bound, so non-tradeable https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/book-row-levitating/
(and also this one: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/book-stack-levitating/)
Might be bought at Artaeum if player has access to Summerset, or during Free ESO+ Trial events.

You know, I was really disappointed that that set wasn’t scrolls as the lorebooks that you find are and, more to the point, it would have been awesome to have some scroll furnishings that you could buy for gold.
