This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Expansion pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below the description for more information.
Picked Upload! This is a picked upload! It showcases some of the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.
Ever need more space for your collectibles or just want a place to store needless stuff in your house without making it look trashy? Good! Because you've come to right place 
These bookshelves no longer have those useless books on their shelves.. instead, they will have whatever you put on them! Whether small, medium, or large. These bookshelves also seem to complement the area around them a lot better without all of those books stacked up on them.
Reminder: This is not a mod; they are new objects. They are not default replacements, which leaves the originals still available. (They cannot be defaults because their poly counts have been altered, just if you were wondering.)
You may be wondering, but the slots on every bookshelf allow full rotation of objects! You can place any item that is small, medium, or large.
Record Scratch waaaittt.. what about the other two base game shelves? A: You can find those here and here
Fun note: These are still usable bookshelves. You can add any books you like and the form of the bookshelf will not be altered! Don't worry about the geostates, they have been adjusted to where no matter how many books you add, your objects and bookshelf will not be altered.
Helpful Hint: If you find it hard to place the objects on the bookshelves; zoom in to the spot that you want to object and try placing it again. It seems to get a little less frustrating when you do that
Update *6/27/12*: Poly counts were incorrect; they have been updated to the correct amount.
For all objects, navigate to Shelves>Displays and then filter custom content.
